How much revenue did Grey Block make?

$478–$1k after Steam's roughly 30% cut, derived from the copies estimate and its price.

How many copies did Grey Block sell?

Q: How many copies did Grey Block sell?

174 to 282 copies, based on its 7 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 174–282; $478–$1k after Steam's cut $869–$2k before Steam's cut; from 7 reviews (7 user reviews); Only 7 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 Grey Block

A typical game among these

≈ 9k–17k copies

≈ $46k–$138k after Steam's cut

from ~411 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Observer: System Redux at ≈ 75k–122k copies, ≈ $620k–$1.7M 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 92 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 363.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Hacking (7 of 8) and Investigation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Investigation, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Stealth + Walking Simulator + First-Person; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
