What if my game is already on Steamworks or Steam?
No problem. We can transfer existing games to our Steamworks account. Many developers switch to Steamline after they're already published to save on payment fees and simplify tax compliance.
What stays the same after transfer:
When you transfer to our Steamworks account, everything about your game remains intact:
- Your store page, reviews, and ratings
- All wishlists and followers
- Your community discussions and workshop items
- Sales history and momentum
- Achievements, trading cards, and other Steamworks features
How the transfer works:
- You initiate a transfer request through your existing Steamworks account
- We accept the transfer on our end
- You reconfirm the transfer
- Valve processes the ownership transfer (typically 1-2 weeks)
- You maintain full access to your game's Steamworks dashboard
Your rights and control:
You keep complete control of your game after the transfer:
- 100% IP ownership stays with you
- Full access to financials, analytics, and all Steamworks tools
- Complete control over store page, pricing, and builds
- Direct communication with your players
The only thing that changes is who receives the payment from Valve (us instead of you directly) and how you get paid (better payment rails with lower fees).
