Estimated copies sold
≈ 149–242
$163–$439 after Steam's cut $297–$676 before Steam's cut
from 6 reviews (6 user reviews)
Only 6 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 Racing Tanks! and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Racing Tanks!'s, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 6k–98k
best case 3.3M (World of Tanks)
Games like Racing Tanks!

A typical game among these

≈ 6k–98k copies

≈ $43k–$257k after Steam's cut

from ~633 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: World of Tanks at ≈ 2.5M–4.1M copies.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 423 reviews in their first month; the range was 11 to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Military (8 of 8) and Tanks (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tanks + Military.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
