What To Expect
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.
- Sign the digital paperwork. You’ll need the information as detailed below.
- Pay the app deposit fee with any supported Steam payment method as detailed below.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- There are a couple of additional timing requirements before you can release your first few titles on Steam:
- 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.
- 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.
- Now you’re all set to release. The release controls are now in your hands and you can update whenever you want.
Information du bör ha till hands:
Betalningsinformation
Vi behöver korrekt bankinformation, så som clearingnummer, kontonummer och bankens adress så vi vet var vi ska skicka betalningar från försäljningen av ditt program.
Notera att kontoinnehavarens namn måste matcha namnet på ditt företag. Om du ännu inte har ett bankkonto för ditt företag, måste du öppna ett innan du kan fortsätta.
Skatteuppgifter
Du kommer få gå igenom ett kortfattat skattefrågeformulär för att bestämma din skattestatus och skatteprocenten. Informationen du behöver för att slutföra enkäten beror på om du registrerar dig som en individ eller som ett företag, och beroende på var ditt företag ligger nånstans. Amerikanska medborgare och företag behöver information som liknar den som hittas i formulär W-9. Medborgare och företag i ett land med skatteavtal med USA behöver information som liknar den som hittas i formulär W-8BEN.
All information som krävs behövs för att registrera dig på Steamworks. Klicka här för mer detaljer om källskatt.
Product Submission Fee
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.
