WhatALaunch is a Steam game analytics website. Every game that is released on Steam gets covered here on WhatALaunch to answer your question if a game is a flop or hot, what your estimated FPS will be before you purchase the game and the game is doing based on a Breakout score that I have created. It is our own algorithm to help you see how the game is doing. WhatALaunch serves the purpose to help you answer the question if you should get the game or wait.

I am completely independent and transparent, the website is not being sponsored in any shape or form and I intend on keeping it that way. I built the website to cover many of the questions a gamer might have.

There are many reasons why WhatALaunch was created but the main reasons are to show statistics of a game in a more beautiful and easy way while also showing price updates, FPS estimates, patch notes and much more, all in one place.

The other reason is accountability. When publishers shut down always-online titles, revoke licenses, or abandon paid games and leave buyers with nothing usable, that should be visible. Hall of Shame exists for those cases. I want developers and big companies to be held accountable for their sloppy work.

WhatALaunch is a solo, independently operated project created by Gabe. Everything that you see on the website, from the features to the updates is done by me only. There is no studio, no publisher funding. I am completely independent and I intend on keeping it that way.

I am a gamer first. I wanted an honest launch website and could not find one that mixed live player data, review quality, launch risk, and “will this run on my PC?” in a single workflow. So I built it. You can read about it more in the FAQ.

Questions or feedback can go through the Contact page. If the site saves you a bad purchase or served you stats that you wanted to know, you can support the server costs & hosting. I appreciate every single one of you who visits, share this website, donates, all of this helps.

Thank you very much for your support.
