Q: How many copies did UNICYCLIST sell?

198 to 322 copies, based on its 8 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 198–322; $272–$731 after Steam's cut $494–$1k before Steam's cut; from 8 reviews (8 user reviews); Only 8 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

Games like UNICYCLIST

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–47k copies

≈ $18k–$493k after Steam's cut

from ~402 reviews

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Descenders at ≈ 694k–1.1M copies, ≈ $4.8M–$12.8M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 45 reviews in their first month; the range was 8 to 195.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sports (7 of 8) and Bikes (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sports + Racing, priced around $25.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
