A typical game among these

≈ 57k–81k copies

≈ $292k–$755k after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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: Chernobylite Complete Edition at ≈ 388k–630k copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.6M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 659 reviews in their first month; the range was 66 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share First-Person (6 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with First-Person, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Space Sim + Open World + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
