Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 96k–392k
best case 4.0M (The Crew™ 2)
Games like Jetborne Racing

A typical game among these

≈ 96k–392k copies

≈ $1.5M–$1.9M after Steam's cut

from ~5k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: The Crew™ 2 at ≈ 3.0M–4.9M copies, ≈ $25.0M–$67.2M 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 175 reviews in their first month; the range was 45 to 212.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Flight (8 of 8) and Racing (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Racing + Open World, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Automobile Sim + Massively Multiplayer + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2022, and none of them 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
