How big is PRICE?

≈ 215k–350k
from 5k 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 PRICE and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including PRICE's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.4M–2.1M
best case 1.9M (Little Nightmares II)
Games like PRICE

A typical game among these

≈ 1.4M–2.1M copies

≈ $15.1M–$20.2M after Steam's cut

from ~33k 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: Little Nightmares II at ≈ 1.5M–2.4M copies, ≈ $12.0M–$32.3M 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
