Estimated copies sold
≈ 74–121
$61–$164 after Steam's cut $111–$253 before Steam's cut

Only 3 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 Seekers of Darkness and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Seekers of Darkness's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

A typical game among these

≈ 37k–322k copies

≈ $189k–$967k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

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

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Minion Masters at ≈ 1.9M–3.1M copies.

The winners
Winners here lead with Trading Card Game + Turn-Based Tactics.
When they shipped
Only 2 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 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).
