Q: How many copies did Inhibit sell?

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 99–161; $163–$439 after Steam's cut $297–$675 before Steam's cut; from 4 reviews (4 user reviews); Only 4 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

Games like Inhibit

A typical game among these

≈ 163–586 copies

≈ $63–$1k after Steam's cut

from ~13 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: Celeste at ≈ 4.5M–7.4M copies, ≈ $24.9M–$67.0M 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 6 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 25.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 2D Platformer (7 of 8) and Precision Platformer (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Precision Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2010 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
