How many copies did BeatNClean sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 223–363
$122–$329 after Steam's cut $222–$506 before Steam's cut
from 9 reviews (9 user reviews)
Only 9 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?

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

A typical game among these

≈ 440–830 copies

≈ $1k–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~18 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: GRIME at ≈ 169k–275k copies, ≈ $1.2M–$3.1M 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 11 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 2k.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Platformer (6 of 8) and Souls-like (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action-Adventure + Exploration, priced around $14. The breakout hits carry Action-Adventure + Exploration + Dark Fantasy; 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 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).
