A typical game among these

≈ 29k–40k copies

≈ $69k–$171k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: I Am Fish at ≈ 99k–161k copies, ≈ $544k–$1.5M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 334 reviews in their first month; the range was 42 to 611.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 3D Platformer (7 of 8) and Physics (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + 3D Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Simulation + Cartoon + Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
