How many copies did Spider’s Climb sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 50–81
$14–$36 after Steam's cut $25–$56 before Steam's cut
from 2 reviews (2 user reviews)
Only 2 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 Spider’s Climb and predicted how it would do from its 7 similar games. Every figure here, including Spider’s Climb's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.8M–2.0M

Games like Spider’s Climb

A typical game among these

≈ 1.8M–2.0M copies

≈ $16.7M–$23.8M after Steam's cut

from ~40k 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 7 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Forza Horizon 5 at ≈ 7.0M–11.4M copies, ≈ $115.3M–$310.1M after Steam's cut. 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
