Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 98–537
best case 3k (ZADETTE)
Games like Rocket Bot Royale

A typical game among these

≈ 98–537 copies

≈ $315–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~8 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: ZADETTE at ≈ 2k–4k copies, ≈ $4k–$10k 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 19 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 Arcade (6 of 8) and Battle Royale (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Arcade + Platformer, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Retro + 1980s + Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2019 to 2025, 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
