Did the prediction match what actually happened?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.6M–2.7M

best case 27.0M (BeamNG.drive)

Games like Flyout

A typical game among these

≈ 1.6M–2.7M copies

≈ $14.6M–$19.2M after Steam's cut

from ~53k 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: BeamNG.drive at ≈ 20.5M–33.4M copies, ≈ $141.2M–$379.6M 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 31k reviews in their first month; the range was 11k to 32k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sandbox (5 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Driving, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Driving + Realistic + Automobile Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2023, 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).
