$63k–$170k after Steam's roughly 30% cut, derived from the copies estimate and its price.

How many copies did Ogre sell?

Q: How many copies did Ogre sell?

9k to 15k copies, based on its 267 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 9k–15k; $63k–$170k after Steam's cut $115k–$261k before Steam's cut; from 267 reviews (Mixed)

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1k–25k

best case 3.6M (Business Tour - Board Game with Online Multiplayer)

Games like Ogre

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–25k copies

≈ $3k–$188k after Steam's cut

from ~121 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Business Tour - Board Game with Online Multiplayer at ≈ 2.8M–4.5M copies. 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 22 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 384.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Board Game (7 of 8) and Hex Grid (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Board Game + Co-op. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Massively Multiplayer + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
