How many copies did Wander sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 149–242
$41–$109 after Steam's cut $74–$168 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.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 569k–2.0M
best case 37.2M (Rocket League®)
Games like Wander

A typical game among these

≈ 569k–2.0M copies

≈ $1.7M–$7.1M after Steam's cut

from ~24k 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: Rocket League® at ≈ 28.3M–46.0M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

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