Steam tag
Estimated revenue, market economics, and the top games tagged Mod on Steam.
Share of Mod games by estimated lifetime revenue. Averages hide this — a few hits pull the mean far above what a typical game in the genre makes.
Read this as the notable end of the genre. Steam publishes user tags only on game pages we fully enrich, so this sample skews to games that got attention — its median is 1,276 reviews against roughly 19 for the catalogue. The real share of low-earning Mod games is higher than shown.
For developers
Total estimated revenue of Mod games, grouped by the year they launched — a release-cohort trend, not a live time-series. Recent years are still accumulating revenue after launch.
