How many copies did UNO sell?

Q: How many copies did UNO sell?

1.9M to 3.0M copies, based on its 54k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 1.9M–3.0M; $5.1M–$13.8M after Steam's cut $9.3M–$21.2M before Steam's cut; from 54k reviews (Mostly Positive)

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Games like UNO

A typical game among these

≈ 536k–787k copies

≈ $4.4M–$7.1M after Steam's cut

from ~15k 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: Tabletop Simulator at ≈ 3.6M–5.9M copies, ≈ $20.0M–$53.8M 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 6k reviews in their first month; the range was 778 to 17k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Card Game (8 of 8) and Board Game (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tabletop + Simulation, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Tabletop + Simulation + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2025, and 1 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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