Games like Paradox Vector

A typical game among these

≈ 93k–837k copies

≈ $1.1M–$5.3M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

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

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Counter-Strike 2 at ≈ 624.8M–1015.3M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 899 reviews in their first month; the range was 132 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share FPS (8 of 8) and Shooter (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Shooter + FPS. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Survival + Battle Royale; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2007 to 2022, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
