How many copies did Unreal World sell?

Too new to estimate
Games in its genre land ≈ 423–2k That is what its genre does, not a prediction for this game.
No reviews yet, so there is nothing to estimate from. That is not the same as selling nothing.
Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 423–2k
best case 34k (Space industrial empire)
Games like Unreal World

The middle of these games

≈ 423–2k copies

≈ $804–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~25 reviews

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: Space industrial empire at ≈ 26k–42k copies, ≈ $42k–$114k 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 22 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 688.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Idler (8 of 8) and Loot (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Automation + Space, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Space + Management + Automation; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.
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).
