Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.2M–1.8M

best case 37.2M (Rocket League®)

Games like SpeedRunners

A typical game among these

≈ 1.2M–1.8M copies

≈ $8.2M–$10.3M after Steam's cut

from ~27k 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: Rocket League® at ≈ 28.3M–46.0M copies. 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 6k reviews in their first month; the range was 6k to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Racing (7 of 8) and Sports (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Online Co-Op + Physics + Massively Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2006 to 2022, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
