How many copies did CyberNEON sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 99–161
from 4 reviews (4 user reviews)
Only 4 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 CyberNEON and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including CyberNEON's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 407–3k
best case 5.8M (Stray)
Games like CyberNEON

A typical game among these

≈ 407–3k copies

≈ $432–$11k after Steam's cut

from ~24 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: Stray at ≈ 4.4M–7.2M copies, ≈ $36.6M–$98.3M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
The games that made it here had under 69k reviews in their first month.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Match 3 (6 of 8) and Puzzle (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Cats + Cyberpunk, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Cats + Singleplayer + Cute; 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
