Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid F1® 2020 and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including F1® 2020's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2.4M–9.4M

Games like F1® 2020

A typical game among these

≈ 2.4M–9.4M copies

≈ $27.0M–$85.9M after Steam's cut

from ~95k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Forza Horizon 4 at ≈ 7.5M–12.2M copies.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Racing (8 of 8) and Automobile Sim (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Open World.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2021, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
