No they don’t, they’re all 70/30
The percentages is 30 percent for sony Microsoft and steam, what are you talking about? The only company offering better rates is epic, and ironically gamers hate their digital store.
No Xbox Epic and Steam is 88/12.

How Much Does Steam Take From Sales (Including DLCs)? - Game Dev Planet
Steam is one of the most well-known video game distribution platforms on earth, boasting over 50 thousand games in its collection and over 25 million

The initial revenue split for sales on Steam is 70/30, meaning Steam takes 30% of sales and the remaining 70% goes to the developer. This split is further adjusted to 75/25 once a game has made over $10 million. And again to 80/20 when the game makes over $50 million.
Microsoft exec: Our 30% commission is required to build Xbox consoles
As long as Xbox consoles are manufactured and sold, Microsoft is highly unlikely to ever lower its 30% revenue split for devs.

According to Lori Wright, Vice President, Gaming, Media & Entertainment at Microsoft, the company's 30% revenue commission is "required" for Xbox consoles to be manufactured or sold. All Xbox hardware has been sold at a loss, and not a single generation's hardware sales have been profitable.
You're literally lying breh

Wait till this man finds out about Nintendo games and their prices
Why are you comparing what Microsoft charges on their PC store to a company that doesn't even have a PC store?
They charge the same commission fee in the market they compete in, You're being disingenuous.

go to bed
afaik only Epic is 88/12
thing is Epic has shown that their revenue split doesn't change the price of games for consumers. and that's why this lawsuit is stupid. if Sony collected 0%, the price of games probably still wouldn't change
Damn shame
