How big is Altitude?
Estimated owners
≈ 101k–164k
from 2k 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 Altitude out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Altitude's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 50–444
best case 52.2M (War Thunder)
The Side Scroller lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 95 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 95 copies
≈ $167 after Steam's cut
from ~3 reviews
Best case
≈ 52.2M copies
War Thunder
from 765k 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 + Simulation, priced around $8.
  • The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Simulation + Vehicular Combat; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2013 to 2022, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
