With unified and transparent cross-platform insights, Alinea Analytics is redefining market intelligence for console and PC games
We’ve just added our biggest-ever update to the Alinea Analytics platform. Here’s the need to know.
We’re introducing:
-
Unified cross-platform views for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
-
Copies sold/ player estimates and actual milestones, side by side in our game pages.
-
This comes from our 25,000+ curated database of actuals, fully sourced, traceable, and linked directly to each game in our platform.
Here’s a screenshot from our platform, using Palworld (Pocketpair’s breakthrough 2024 release) as an example:
As you can see, we now show Pocketpair’s publicly announced player numbers right next to our estimates, allowing our clients to do their own benchmarks on our data (when public data is available).
We do this for every actual we find. And all 25K+ milestones are accessible to our clients via the ‘‘reported milestones’’ database in our platform – as well as inside the game pages for each title:
Our platform also includes data on practically every country in the world – including the ever-important Chinese market and other growth markets.
We also have player splits from subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, so you can discover whether a player bought a game or got access via a subscription.
You can see this all in action in the video below:

At Alinea Analytics, we’ve built our mission around a simple belief: fast, accurate, and transparent data should be the foundation of every strategic decision. We’re proud we’ve come so far in such a short amount of time.
And today, we’re proud to take a major step forward in our goal with our new platform update. But we’re just getting started. Our roadmap is packed, with more big announcements to come.
Better, more transparent data = better-informed decisions
In today’s crowded PC and console market, every player, copy, and market matters. We won’t sugarcoat it. The market is going through a transition period, and things are uncertain. The stakes are high for studios, publishers, and investors.
Fragmented, opaque data introduces even more hidden risks – ones that can derail launches, misguide investments, or leave opportunities on the table. Speedy, accurate, and transparent data is critical for teams to succeed. They’re not just nice to haves anymore.
That’s why we’re so proud to launch our unified cross-platform sales and player estimates, aligned with the industry’s most comprehensive curated database of actual reported sales and player milestones (25K strong and growing daily).
Bringing it all together
For years now, the challenge hasn’t been the lack of data. It’s been the lack of data clarity and transparency.
Sales figures are rarely disclosed. And subscription players are often invisible. Many analytics tools rely on opaque black-box models that publishers tell us are hard to trust.
‘‘From day one, our mission has been to provide fast, accurate and transparent market intelligence,’’ says Rickard Linder, Alinea Analytics’ CEO and Co-Founder.
‘‘This update brings it all together. With the most accurate unified cross-platform sales estimates, aligned with the industry’s most comprehensive curated database of actual sales milestones, we hope this release sets a new standard for transparency and reliability in market intelligence.’’
As Rickard quite rightly explains, this is about redefining what market intelligence should look like: transparent, contextual, and actionable.
It’s more than just adding new features. We’re putting our money where our mouth is. Any game studio can see for themselves and get free, unlimited access to our platform for three days.
