Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.7M–2.7M

best case 10.4M (Schedule I)

Games like RoadCraft

A typical game among these

≈ 1.7M–2.7M copies

≈ $14.7M–$21.5M after Steam's cut

from ~57k 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: Schedule I at ≈ 7.9M–12.8M copies, ≈ $43.4M–$116.6M 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 69k reviews in their first month; the range was 6k to 153k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (6 of 8) and Building (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Co-op, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Crime + Action; 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).
