How many copies did Alien Vision sell?

Q: How many copies did Alien Vision sell?

74 to 121 copies, based on its 3 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 74–121; $20–$55 after Steam's cut $37–$84 before Steam's cut; from 3 reviews (3 user reviews); Only 3 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?

Games like Alien Vision

A typical game among these

≈ 3.8M–22.7M copies

≈ $26.4M–$61.1M after Steam's cut

from ~105k 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: Wallpaper Engine at ≈ 31.0M–50.3M copies, ≈ $42.5M–$114.3M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 6 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 15.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Utilities (8 of 8) and Design & Illustration (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mature + Utilities, priced around $5.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
