Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

typical (middle half) 15k–20k
best case 987k (VTOL VR)
Games like Hell Division

A typical game among these

≈ 15k–20k copies

≈ $70k–$139k after Steam's cut

from ~588 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: VTOL VR at ≈ 752k–1.2M copies, ≈ $6.2M–$16.7M 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 191 reviews in their first month; the range was 37 to 323.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Combat (7 of 8) and Flight (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Flight + Simulation, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Military + Simulation + Flight; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2015 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
