Estimated copies sold
≈ 198–322
$544–$1k after Steam's cut $989–$2k before Steam's cut

Only 8 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.

≈ 244–11k copies

≈ $2k–$106k after Steam's cut

from ~29 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: Avorion at ≈ 362k–588k copies, ≈ $2.5M–$6.7M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 4 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 6k.

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).
