$55–$147 after Steam's roughly 30% cut, derived from the copies estimate and its price.

How many copies did Battleship sell?

Q: How many copies did Battleship sell?

50 to 81 copies, based on its 2 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 50–81; $55–$147 after Steam's cut $100–$226 before Steam's cut; from 2 reviews (2 user reviews); Only 2 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.

Games like Battleship

A typical game among these

≈ 895–1k copies

≈ $69k–$79k after Steam's cut

from ~30 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Nodebuster at ≈ 349k–567k copies, ≈ $287k–$771k 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 11 reviews in their first month; the range was 8 to 6k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Arcade (8 of 8) and Simulation (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Arcade + Simulation, priced around $11. The breakout hits carry Life Sim + Open World + Physics; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
