ATTRIBUTION ON

STEAM

Unlike traditional e-commerce funnels, Steam does not pass source data cleanly through the user journey. Players move between browsers, the Steam client, and the game itself, making standard attribution methods ineffective. This is why Steam marketing attribution requires a different approach. Through fingerprinting-based attribution, measurement partners such as Steam Data Suite track user journeys around the Steam ecosystem. When a player clicks a Theorycraft Marketing campaign link, an anonymous identifier is created. The same process occurs when that player launches the game for the first time. Using probabilistic modelling, this data allows us to attribute Steam user acquisition back to specific campaigns, channels, and promotional efforts - enabling accurate Steam Attribution & Optimisation without relying on traditional tracking methods.

OPTIMIZE YOUR WHOLE PUBLISHING OPERATION

Through these specialised partnerships, our Steam Attribution & Optimisation service goes beyond ad spend optimisation to improve the full impact of your Steam marketing. We automate and simplify key aspects of working with Steam - from measuring the impact of on-platform promotions to optimising Steam page marketing, store page conversion rates, visibility, and tag performance.
