How many copies did Open Course sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 50–81
$28–$73 after Steam's cut $50–$113 before Steam's cut
from 2 reviews (2 user reviews)
Only 2 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.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 109k–198k
best case 2.5M (Golf With Your Friends)
Games like Open Course

A typical game among these

≈ 109k–198k copies

≈ $1.7M–$3.0M after Steam's cut

from ~4k 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: Golf With Your Friends at ≈ 1.9M–3.1M copies, ≈ $25.9M–$69.5M 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 941 reviews in their first month; the range was 233 to 26k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Golf (8 of 8) and Sports (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Mini Golf + Sports, priced around $29. The breakout hits carry Funny + Casual + Mini Golf; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
