Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 11k–49k
best case 141k (The Legend of Tianding)
The Hack and Slash lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 17k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 17k copies
≈ $194k after Steam's cut
from ~532 reviews
Best case
≈ 141k copies
The Legend of Tianding · ≈ $1.1M after Steam's cut
from 4k reviews

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is too small to compare.

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 Adventure + Controller, priced around $20.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2024. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
