How many copies did ZOMBI ROCKSTAR sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 124–202
$340–$918 after Steam's cut $619–$1k before Steam's cut
from 5 reviews (5 user reviews)
Only 5 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.

A typical game among these

≈ 62k–72k copies

≈ $416k–$595k after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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 5 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Afterimage at ≈ 260k–423k copies, ≈ $1.8M–$4.8M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 783 to 2k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share 2D Platformer (5 of 5) and Action-Adventure (3 of 5).
The winners
Winners here lead with Metroidvania + 2D Platformer, priced around $27. The breakout hits carry Exploration + Metroidvania + Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 2 of the 5 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).
