A typical game among these

≈ 333k–666k copies

≈ $3.9M–$4.6M after Steam's cut

from ~10k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster at ≈ 986k–1.6M copies, ≈ $8.1M–$21.9M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share JRPG (7 of 8) and Fantasy (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with JRPG + Fantasy, priced around $23. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Linear + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2023, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
