from 572 reviews (Very Positive)

A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Does this actually work?

We left Blaston out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Blaston's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2.9M–4.5M
best case 52.2M (War Thunder)
The Simulation lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 4.1M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 4.1M copies
≈ $42.6M after Steam's cut

War Thunder
from 765k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Free to Play + Simulation, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Vehicular Combat + World War II; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2013 to 2020, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
