How much revenue did Seabed Prelude make?

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

How many copies did Seabed Prelude sell?

Q: How many copies did Seabed Prelude sell?

241 to 391 copies, based on its 7 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Estimated copies sold: ≈ 241–391; from 7 reviews (7 user reviews); Only 7 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

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

≈ $99.2M after Steam's cut

Best case: War Thunder at ≈ 49.7M–80.7M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 19 reviews in their first month; the range was 18 to 106.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share VR (8 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Vehicular Combat.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2022, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
