30%, but if you're raking in the big bucks, it drops to 25% after $10M and 20% after $50M. Nice incentive if you ask me!

Steam typically takes a 30% cut from game sales. This has been their standard rate for a while now, though there are exceptions where the cut can decrease based on sales volume. For example, after a game makes over $10 million, Steam's cut drops to 25%, and then for sales over $50 million, it goes down further to 20%. So the more you sell, the less you pay!

I've seen a lot of indie devs complain about that 30% cut Steam takes. They say it's too much, but honestly, considering the visibility and access to a massive audience that Steam provides, it kinda seems worth it.
