Estimated copies sold

$7–$18 after Steam's cut $12–$28 before Steam's cut

Only 1 review 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 Maze Quest and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Maze Quest's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

A typical game among these

≈ 66–3k copies

≈ $149–$16k after Steam's cut

from ~24 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: Cave Digger VR at ≈ 11k–17k copies, ≈ $58k–$156k after Steam's cut.

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