How many copies did Seabed Prelude sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 241–391
from 7 reviews (7 user reviews)
Thin evidence: 7 reviews. That range swings on one or two people, so read it as a hint, not a measurement.

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?

≈ $98.5M after Steam's cut

from ~268k reviews

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

3 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: War Thunder at ≈ 49.3M–80.1M copies.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 19 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 18 to 107.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
