≈ $2k–$23k after Steam's cut

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Golf It! at ≈ 770k–1.3M copies, ≈ $1.9M–$5.1M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 18 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4 to 22k.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
