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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.1M–2.0M
best case 84.6M (Team Fortress 2)
The Action lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 1.4M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 1.4M copies
≈ $10.2M after Steam's cut
from ~37k reviews
Best case
≈ 84.6M copies
Team Fortress 2
from 1.2M reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit 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 + Hero Shooter, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Hero Shooter + Class-Based + Team-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2007 to 2021, 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.
