2k to 3k copies, based on its 70 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 2k–3k; $6k–$15k after Steam's cut $10k–$24k before Steam's cut; from 70 reviews (Mostly Positive)

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 4k–9k

Games like Zero Tolerance

A typical game among these

≈ 4k–9k copies

≈ $12k–$31k after Steam's cut

from ~140 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Shark Attack Deathmatch 2 at ≈ 54k–88k copies, ≈ $74k–$200k after Steam's cut. 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 43 reviews in their first month; the range was 22 to 234.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share FPS (6 of 8) and Horror (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Arena Shooter, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Shoot 'Em Up + Open World + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
