Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

best case 4.4M (Teardown)
Games like Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary

A typical game among these

≈ 997k–1.7M copies

≈ $10.5M–$15.8M after Steam's cut

from ~33k 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: Teardown at ≈ 3.4M–5.5M copies, ≈ $27.9M–$75.0M 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 9k reviews in their first month; the range was 724 to 38k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Sandbox (5 of 8) and First-Person (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Destruction + Physics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Voxel + Open World + Heist; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
