What Is Raijin (raijin.gg) and What Can You Use It For?

Updated

Raijin (raijin.gg) is a Steam game database and analytics site. It tracks live player counts, review trends, pricing history, and sales estimates across thousands of PC games, and packages that data into charts, comparisons, and historical stats. You'd use it when you want to check how a specific Steam game is performing right now, compare titles against each other, or spot shifts in player sentiment before they show up in news coverage.

What Data Raijin Covers

The site describes itself as "the largest Steam Game Database for stats, charts, and analytics," with these core data types:

  • Live Steam player counts — current concurrent players for tracked games
  • Game charts — rankings of what's being played and what's climbing
  • Review trends — how review sentiment is moving over time, not just the overall score
  • Pricing history — how a game's price has changed
  • Sales estimates — estimated revenue, including a trailing 30-day gross revenue figure

Main Features and What Each One Answers

Game comparison tool

The "Compare" view lets you put Steam player counts and revenue side by side. Use it when you're deciding between similar titles or want to see how a game stacks up against its peers on reach and earnings.

Multi-platform revenue breakdown

For games that ship on both Steam and consoles, Raijin shows how each title's trailing 30-day revenue splits between Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, alongside Steam player counts and the console share versus the prior 30 days.

One caveat the site states directly: console revenue is projected from Steam data, not measured directly, so each console figure carries a confidence level rather than standing as a hard count. Treat console splits as estimates, not reported sales.

Comebacks tracker

This surfaces games whose recent reviewers are more positive than they were 60 or 90 days ago — a different signal from the game's overall Steam review score. Raijin tags likely causes such as controversy, patch or content drops, sales, press coverage, moderation, or off-topic review activity. Use it to catch a turnaround (or a brewing controversy) early.

Trending and new releases

The homepage also surfaces trending Steam games right now and new releases worth watching, so you can see what's gaining momentum without searching game by game.

Limits to Keep in Mind

  • Console revenue figures are projections derived from Steam data, flagged with confidence levels — don't cite them as measured console sales.
  • Review-sentiment signals (comebacks) reflect recent reviews versus 60–90 days ago, not the all-time score, so a "comeback" doesn't mean the game is now well-rated overall.
  • The site's own materials don't state pricing or account requirements for using the tools; check the site directly if access terms matter to you.

If you need quick, chart-based answers about Steam game performance — player counts, revenue estimates, sentiment shifts, and cross-platform splits — Raijin is built for exactly that. For hard console sales numbers, look elsewhere.
