Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.7M–1.8M
best case 9.2M (Forza Horizon 5)
Games like Ultimate Flight Simulator Pro

A typical game among these

≈ 1.7M–1.8M copies

≈ $18.0M–$23.0M after Steam's cut

from ~41k 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: Forza Horizon 5 at ≈ 7.0M–11.4M copies, ≈ $115.3M–$310.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Simulation (8 of 8) and Automobile Sim (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Racing + Driving, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Realistic + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 to 2021, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
