Our GameDiscoverCo Plus back end backs this spread up, logging it as #42 in Steam’s unreleased game wishlist chart out of 5,000+ games (PlayWay’s CEO thinks velocity is an element in this wishlist ranking, btw), but only #91 if ranked by followers. So that’s a 16x multiplier between followers and wishlists, fairly high compared to the median of 9.5x. In fact, CMS 21 had 16,166 Steam followers on the day of release, when PlayWay says it had 270,000 wishlists. Although it only added a Steam page at the end of April 2021, the game’s followers grew extremely quickly, a clear indication the game was likely to be a hit before it was. So let’s look at some graphs and data to see how this all went down:įirstly, you can see the SteamDB follower graph for Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 above.

(Were any of you surprised that CMS 21 has sold 132,000 PC copies in just 3 days, by the way? If you look at Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, which now has 35,000 Steam reviews and a median owner estimate of 2.63 million units and $8.7 million in net sales using GameDiscoverCo formulas, you probably shouldn’t be.)

It’s very rare to see this degree of transparency from a larger publisher so close to a game’s release - though PlayWay does it fairly often for standout games.
The following unit sales numbers and statistics, shared by publisher PlayWay, as of Saturday 14th August 15:00: /8BOYapbnrL (Our piece ‘ What PlayWay should - and shouldn't - teach us about game publishing’ was one of the more discussed in GameDiscoverCo newsletter history!) But we didn’t look into one of their successful games in a lot of detail.Īnd so it was great timing that PlayWay shared with its investors some very focused and precise data on the release of its new Red Dot Games-developed Steam hit Car Mechanic Simulator 2021, as passed along to us via Twitter during the weekend:Ĭar Mechanic Simulator 2021 was released on 11th August on PC and 12th Aug on PS+Xbox. We’ve talked a bit about publicly traded Polish publisher/developer PlayWay before. Car Mechanic Simulator 2021: anatomy of a hit? In the meantime - let’s get crunchy with some data, shall we? What’s up next? Well, we’re working hard on some new in-depth analyses and perks - both for Plus subscribers and free newsletter readers. But more seriously, thanks for supporting our work recently. Well, we’re back, Jack - and yup, we’d rather jack than Fleetwood Mac.
