$519k–$1.4M after Steam's cut $944k–$2.1M before Steam's cut

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.1M–1.4M
best case 9.1M (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33)
Games like Dungeon Siege

A typical game among these

≈ 1.1M–1.4M copies

≈ $11.2M–$22.6M after Steam's cut

from ~36k 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: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at ≈ 6.9M–11.3M copies, ≈ $95.2M–$256.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 9k reviews in their first month; the range was 165 to 92k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Action RPG (6 of 8) and JRPG (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Turn-Based Combat + Story Rich, priced around $50. The breakout hits carry Turn-Based Combat + Story Rich + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.
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).
