There are a couple of steps along the path to getting your game up and ready for distribution via Steam. Here is a general overview.

1. Sign the digital paperwork. You’ll need the information as detailed below.
2. Pay the app deposit fee with any supported Steam payment method as detailed below.
3. Complete the paperwork with your bank and tax information as well as identity verification so that we know who we’ll be doing business with.
4. Now you have access to Steamworks and can begin preparing your title for release. You’ll need to build your store page, upload your builds, configure any Steamworks features, and enter your desired pricing. We’ve worked hard to streamline our tools and document all the features and functionality available to you. Check out the Steamworks documentation for more details.
5. Before your store page or game build can go live, there is a brief review process where we run your game, look at your store page, and check that it is configured correctly and running as expected and not doing anything harmful. This takes between 1-5 days.
6. There are a couple of additional timing requirements before you can release your first few titles on Steam:
1. A 30-day waiting period between when you paid the app fee and when you can release your game. This gives us time to review your information and confirm that we know who we're doing business with.
2. You’ll need to prepare your store page and put up a publicly-visible ‘coming soon’ page for at least two weeks. This will help you start building your audience of interested customers that can wishlist your game or participate in discussions. This also gives you the opportunity to practice how you talk about your product so that you can have the best presentation when you hit the ‘release’ button.
7. Now you’re all set to release. The release controls are now in your hands and you can update whenever you want.

We hebben correcte bankinformatie nodig, zoals bankcode, bankrekeningnummer en het adres van de bank, zodat we weten waar we de betalingen van de verkopen van je applicatie heen moeten sturen.

Houd er rekening mee dat de naam van de rekeninghouder van de bankrekening overeen moet komen met de naam van je bedrijf. Als je nog geen bankrekening hebt geopend voor je bedrijf, moet je er eerst een openen voordat je kunt doorgaan.

Je zult worden doorgestuurd naar een korte belastingvragenlijst om je belastingstatus en inhoudingspercentage te bepalen. De informatie die je nodig hebt om de vragenlijst te kunnen voltooien hangt af van of jij je als individu of als organisatie aanmeldt en waar jij of je organisatie is gevestigd. Burgers en organisaties in de VS zullen informatie nodig hebben die lijkt op wat er te vinden is op formulier W-9. Burgers en organisaties in een land met een belastingverdrag met de VS zullen informatie nodig hebben die lijkt op wat er te vinden is op formulier W-8BEN.

Alle vereiste informatie is nodig om Steamworks goed in te stellen. Klik hier voor meer informatie over bronbelasting.

In order to get fully set up, you will need to pay a $100.00 fee for each product you wish to distribute on Steam. You can pay this fee with any payment method supported by Steam in your region.

This fee is not refundable, but will be recoupable in the payment made after your product has at least $1,000.00 Adjusted Gross Revenue for Steam Store and in-app purchases. Payment of revenue from sales and repayment of fee may be withheld if deposit payment is charged-back, refunded, or otherwise identified as fraudulent.

We hebben enkele richtlijnen opgesteld met betrekking tot welke content kan worden gepubliceerd via Steam. Houd deze richtlijnen in acht als je besluit om een product te publiceren.

We are currently accepting the following types of content: Games and VR Experiences. Non-game software is not currently accepted through Steam Direct. If you have a non-game software that you wish to bring to Steam, please see Distributing Non-Game Software.

Naast de hierboven beschreven punten, moet content die je publiceert op Steam natuurlijk ook voldoen aan de Steam-distributieovereenkomst, de Steam Subscriber Agreement, de online gedragsregels van Steam en het Steam-privacybeleid.
