471k to 766k copies, based on its 10k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Viridi is free to play, so there is no copy-sales revenue to estimate.

How big is Viridi?

Estimated players who have it: ≈ 471k–766k; from 10k reviews (Very Positive)

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 Viridi and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Viridi's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3.6M–4.0M

best case 9.2M (theHunter: Call of the Wild™)

Games like Viridi

A typical game among these

≈ 3.6M–4.0M copies

≈ $26.5M–$64.4M after Steam's cut

from ~84k 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: theHunter: Call of the Wild™ at ≈ 7.0M–11.4M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (7 of 8) and Sandbox (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sandbox. The breakout hits carry Life Sim + Character Customization + Romance; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
