How many copies did BreakBall sell?

Q: How many copies did BreakBall sell?

149 to 242 copies, based on its 6 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 149–242; $327–$880 after Steam's cut $595–$1k before Steam's cut; from 6 reviews (6 user reviews); Only 6 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 BreakBall

A typical game among these

≈ 391–993 copies

≈ $848–$3k 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: Bamerang: Warm-Up Duel at ≈ 1k–2k copies.

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 1 to 31.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 4 Player Local (8 of 8) and 2D Fighter (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 4 Player Local + 2D Fighter.
When they shipped: Only 1 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).
