Games like Yakuza 5 Remastered

A typical game among these

≈ 3.2M–5.6M copies

≈ $40.1M–$56.2M after Steam's cut

from ~79k 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: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition at ≈ 5.1M–8.3M copies, ≈ $27.9M–$75.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 32k reviews in their first month; the range was 16k to 58k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Crime (8 of 8) and Open World (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Automobile Sim + Adventure + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2008 to 2020, 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).
