How much revenue did Space Strider make?

$102–$275 after Steam's roughly 30% cut, derived from the copies estimate and its price.

How many copies did Space Strider sell?

Q: How many copies did Space Strider sell?

124 to 202 copies, based on its 5 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 124–202; $102–$275 after Steam's cut $185–$423 before Steam's cut; from 5 reviews (5 user reviews); Only 5 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 Space Strider and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Space Strider's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

Games like Space Strider

A typical game among these

≈ 895–2k copies

≈ $2k–$6k after Steam's cut

from ~41 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Whisker Squadron: Survivor at ≈ 14k–22k copies, ≈ $76k–$203k 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 28 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 445.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action Roguelike (5 of 8) and Arcade (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Bullet Hell + Rogue-lite, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Bullet Hell + Rogue-lite + Flight; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 3 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).
