Q: How many copies did HeavensSea sell?

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 25–40; $34–$91 after Steam's cut $62–$140 before Steam's cut; from 1 review (1 user reviews); Only 1 review so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

A typical game among these

≈ 116k–169k copies

≈ $509k–$1.0M after Steam's cut

from ~3k 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: Sultan's Game at ≈ 876k–1.4M copies, ≈ $6.0M–$16.2M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 653 to 17k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (6 of 8) and Board Game (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Tabletop, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry RPG + Story Rich + Time Management; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2025, and 2 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
