≈ 3k–7k copies

≈ $4k–$16k after Steam's cut

from ~112 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: I'm on Observation Duty 7 at ≈ 11k–18k copies, ≈ $37k–$100k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 53 reviews in their first month; the range was 9 to 134.

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).
