How many copies did Go Home sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 50–81
$14–$36 after Steam's cut $25–$56 before Steam's cut
from 2 reviews (2 user reviews)
Only 2 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 Go Home and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Go Home's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

A typical game among these

≈ 21k–54k copies

≈ $8k–$165k after Steam's cut

from ~864 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: Samorost 2 at ≈ 187k–303k copies, ≈ $256k–$689k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 60 reviews in their first month; the range was 24 to 314.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

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).
