Estimated players who have it: ≈ 20k–32k; from 799 reviews (Very Positive)

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 158k–261k

best case 4.7M (Soundpad)

Games like Desktop+

A typical game among these

≈ 158k–261k copies

≈ $536k–$2.7M 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: Soundpad at ≈ 3.6M–5.9M copies, ≈ $4.9M–$13.3M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Software (8 of 8) and Utilities (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Software + Utilities, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Simulation + Shooter + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
