Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2k–5k

best case 57.5M (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered)

Games like Gotham Knights

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–5k copies

≈ $6k–$7k after Steam's cut

from ~81 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered at ≈ 43.8M–71.2M copies, ≈ $602.5M–$1620.0M 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 37 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 667.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Open World (5 of 8) and Superhero (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with MMORPG + Superhero, priced around $32. The breakout hits carry Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2011 to 2024, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
