$206k–$553k after Steam's cut $374k–$851k before Steam's cut

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid 10,000,000 and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including 10,000,000's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 242k–650k

A typical game among these

≈ 242k–650k copies

≈ $963k–$1.3M after Steam's cut

from ~6k 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: Mirror at ≈ 2.6M–4.1M copies, ≈ $1.4M–$3.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

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 36 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).
