How many copies did Tank Warz! sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 174–282
$191–$512 after Steam's cut $347–$788 before Steam's cut
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.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

A typical game among these

≈ 301–464 copies

≈ $228–$376 after Steam's cut

from ~11 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Black Gunner Wukong at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $33k–$89k 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 3 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 271.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Arena Shooter (6 of 8) and Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Shoot 'Em Up + Third-Person Shooter, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Shoot 'Em Up + Action Roguelike + Looter Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
