How many copies did SpaceRace sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 25–40
$28–$73 after Steam's cut $50–$112 before Steam's cut
from 1 review (1 user reviews)
Only 1 review 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 SpaceRace and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including SpaceRace's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

≈ $613–$776k after Steam's cut

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

Best case: Assetto Corsa Competizione at ≈ 1.4M–2.3M copies, ≈ $15.4M–$41.4M after Steam's cut.

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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
