How much revenue did Water Physics Simulation make?

$6k–$16k after Steam's roughly 30% cut, derived from the copies estimate and its price.

How many copies did Water Physics Simulation sell?

Q: How many copies did Water Physics Simulation sell?

2k to 4k copies, based on its 98 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 2k–4k; $6k–$16k after Steam's cut $11k–$25k before Steam's cut; from 98 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 Water Physics Simulation and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Water Physics Simulation's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3.3M–6.2M

best case 27.0M (BeamNG.drive)

Games like Water Physics Simulation

A typical game among these

≈ 3.3M–6.2M copies

≈ $22.0M–$92.5M after Steam's cut

from ~111k 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: BeamNG.drive at ≈ 20.5M–33.4M copies, ≈ $141.2M–$379.6M after Steam's cut.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (8 of 8) and Physics (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Driving, priced around $25.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2021, 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).
