Did the prediction match what actually happened?

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.1M–2.1M

best case 25.5M (Unturned)

Games like Vigor

A typical game among these

≈ 1.1M–2.1M copies

≈ $12.4M–$29.4M after Steam's cut

from ~41k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Unturned at ≈ 19.4M–31.6M copies. 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 27k reviews in their first month; the range was 4k to 39k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Co-op (6 of 8) and Looter Shooter (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Survival + Zombies. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Zombies + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2024, and 1 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
