How many copies did Sky Mad sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 50–81
$138–$368 after Steam's cut $250–$566 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.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Sky Mad and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Sky Mad's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 506–635
best case 3k (Battle RC)
Games like Sky Mad

A typical game among these

≈ 506–635 copies

≈ $1k–$40k after Steam's cut

from ~18 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: Battle RC at ≈ 2k–4k copies, ≈ $3k–$9k 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 9 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 13.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Racing (8 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Robots + Combat Racing, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Local Multiplayer + Robots + Combat Racing; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2019 to 2025, and 3 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
