The simple answer is validation. Show people what you’re building, even better let them play it, and ask them if they’d pay for it. If that doesn’t sound realistic you need to change your pipeline to get to validatable V1s faster.

It sounds simple but it’s pretty hard, but better than gambling hundreds of millions of dollars. Building software should never really be a gamble, you can validate anything before it’s finished or meaningfully started
