UGC Impact Report 2025

The UGC Impact Report 2025 provides a comprehensive analysis of how official user-generated content (UGC) and modding support influence the long-term commercial success and player retention of video games.

  • Games with official UGC support on Steam show a 31% revenue advantage five years post-launch compared to titles without such support.
  • UGC-supported titles on Steam maintain 115% higher concurrent user counts five years after release, significantly extending the game's lifecycle.
  • Official UGC support does not cannibalize sales, as these titles generate 105% higher median revenue per DLC than games without community content.
