Dustborn

Overview

Dustborn is a 2024 Action game developed by Red Thread Games and published by Spotlight by Quantic Dream. On Steam it has gathered 678 player reviews, 67% of them positive, which counts as a mixed-to-positive reception among indie titles in the Action category. The game is available on mac, windows, and launched at $30. The pairing of developer Red Thread Games with publisher Spotlight by Quantic Dream is one of the studio-publisher relationships indielist tracks, letting players find comparable games and letting developers and investors study how Action projects reach the market. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 18,000 to 43,000 units, with the full Boxleiter factor breakdown shown on this page rather than a single black-box figure. Within indielist's catalog of indie games mapped to their studios, publishers, and funding, Dustborn can be compared against similar Action titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Dustborn at roughly 18,000 to 43,000 copies, with a median around 31,000, derived from its 678 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $523K in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem

indielist positions Dustborn within the Action segment so players can surface comparable titles by shared tags and genre rather than by storefront promotion. On the developer side, Red Thread Games's other releases and Spotlight by Quantic Dream's wider catalog are one click away, letting developers benchmark where Dustborn sits among a studio's body of work and how its publisher's portfolio performs. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same Dustborn page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Action game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
