35k to 58k copies, based on its 1k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 35k–58k; $97k–$261k after Steam's cut $177k–$402k before Steam's cut; from 1k reviews (Very Positive)

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Games like Golf Gang

A typical game among these

≈ 944–9k copies

≈ $802–$40k after Steam's cut

from ~89 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Forza Horizon 4 at ≈ 7.5M–12.2M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 21 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 42k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Racing (7 of 8) and Arcade (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Open World, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Open World + Automobile Sim + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
