How much does Steam take from game sales?
Steam typically takes a 30% cut from game sales on its platform. This is the standard rate, but for games that exceed $10 million in sales, the cut goes down to 25%, and then for sales over $50 million, it drops further to 20%. So, the more you sell, the less Steam takes.

Steam takes a hearty 30% slice of your game sales pie, which, let's be honest, is a pretty chunky piece. But hey, if your game's a hit and racks up over $10 million, Steam starts cutting back on its share. Sounds like a high bar? Absolutely, but who doesn't love a good challenge?
I released my indie game on Steam last year, and yeah, they take their 30% cut. But considering the exposure and user base Steam provides, it was worth it for me. The fees decrease as your sales increase, which is a nice incentive too.
Honestly, 30% is a lot and it always bothers me. I know Steam provides a massive platform, but 30%? Ouch.
