from ~57 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Eclipse at ≈ 5k–8k copies, ≈ $4k–$11k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 30 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 14 to 76.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
