How much revenue did DUBIUM make?

DUBIUM is free to play, so there is no copy-sales revenue to estimate.

How many copies did DUBIUM sell?

Q: How many copies did DUBIUM sell?

8k to 14k copies, based on its 336 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Games like DUBIUM

A typical game among these

≈ 244–187k copies

≈ $270–$14.4M after Steam's cut

from ~143 reviews

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

2 of the 6 similar games are hits.

Best case: Among Us at ≈ 22.8M–37.0M copies, ≈ $31.3M–$84.0M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 1k reviews in their first month.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Social Deduction (6 of 6) and Survival (5 of 6).
The winners: Winners here lead with Social Deduction + Space, priced around $5.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
