How many copies did Last Space Mission sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 74–121
$41–$110 after Steam's cut $74–$169 before Steam's cut
from 3 reviews (3 user reviews)
Only 3 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

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 Last Space Mission and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Last Space Mission's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

A typical game among these

≈ 667–4k copies

≈ $3k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~99 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: TRIBES 3: Rivals at ≈ 34k–56k copies, ≈ $189k–$507k 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 36 reviews in their first month; the range was 10 to 802.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Arena Shooter (5 of 8) and Shooter (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Fast-Paced + FPS, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Fast-Paced + Boomer Shooter + Class-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 1 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).
