How many copies did SpaceBoots sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 25–40
$55–$146 after Steam's cut $100–$224 before Steam's cut
from 1 review (1 user reviews)
Only 1 review 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 SpaceBoots and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including SpaceBoots's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 98–3k
best case 6k (The Wraith of the Galaxy)
Games like SpaceBoots

A typical game among these

≈ 98–3k copies

≈ $82–$12k after Steam's cut

from ~8 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Wraith of the Galaxy at ≈ 4k–7k copies, ≈ $15k–$39k after Steam's cut.

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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
