How many copies did Speed Run sell?

Q: How many copies did Speed Run sell?

124 to 202 copies, based on its 5 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 124–202; $511–$1k after Steam's cut $929–$2k before Steam's cut; from 5 reviews (5 user reviews); Only 5 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 Speed Run

A typical game among these

≈ 4k–8k copies

≈ $7k–$16k after Steam's cut

from ~181 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: Kao the Kangaroo (2000 re-release) at ≈ 11k–18k copies, ≈ $6k–$16k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 57 reviews in their first month; the range was 24 to 71.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 3D Platformer (8 of 8) and Platformer (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Platformer + Action-Adventure, priced around $2.
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).
