≈ $2.2M–$2.3M after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 729 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Fighting (6 of 8) and Sports (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting + Competitive, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Competitive + Arcade + 3D Fighter; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2024, and 1 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
