Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

A typical game among these

≈ 19k–31k copies

≈ $82k–$211k after Steam's cut

from ~689 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 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Hi-Fi RUSH at ≈ 893k–1.5M copies, ≈ $7.4M–$19.8M 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 262 reviews in their first month; the range was 95 to 11k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Action-Adventure (7 of 8) and Platformer (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Rhythm + Hack and Slash, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Rhythm + Hack and Slash + Great Soundtrack; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
