Q: How many copies did DUST-UP sell?

115 to 187 copies, based on its 4 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 115–187; $316–$850 after Steam's cut $574–$1k before Steam's cut; from 4 reviews (4 user reviews); Only 4 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

≈ 588k–918k copies

≈ $8.0M–$9.8M after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sports (6 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Sports. The breakout hits carry Football (Soccer) + Controller + Competitive; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2022, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
