How many copies did The Hierophant sell?

Q: How many copies did The Hierophant 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.

Games like The Hierophant

A typical game among these

≈ 60k–104k copies

≈ $530k–$1.2M after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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: Wayfinder at ≈ 666k–1.1M copies, ≈ $4.6M–$12.3M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 501 to 22k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Exploration (5 of 8) and JRPG (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Exploration, priced around $42. The breakout hits carry Action + Action-Adventure + City Builder; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 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).
