How much revenue did MultiVersus make?

MultiVersus is free to play, so there is no copy-sales revenue to estimate.

How many copies did MultiVersus sell?

Q: How many copies did MultiVersus sell?

2.9M to 4.7M copies, based on its 116k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

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 MultiVersus and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including MultiVersus's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 845k–1.3M

best case 18.7M (Brawlhalla)

Games like MultiVersus

A typical game among these

≈ 845k–1.3M copies

≈ $7.1M–$14.8M after Steam's cut

from ~26k 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: Brawlhalla at ≈ 14.2M–23.1M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Fighting (7 of 8) and 2D Fighter (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Local Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2023, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
