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

≈ $4k–$12k after Steam's cut

from ~57 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: Dead Drop at ≈ 6k–9k copies, ≈ $8k–$20k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 15 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 36.

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