Games like Shipped

A typical game among these

≈ 367k–776k copies

≈ $4.0M–$7.5M after Steam's cut

from ~14k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: World of Warships at ≈ 5.4M–8.8M copies. 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 8k reviews in their first month; the range was 5k to 19k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Naval Combat (8 of 8) and Naval (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Naval Combat + Co-op. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Tactical + Online Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 2 of the 8 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
