The middle of these games

≈ 5.7M–8.7M copies

≈ $54.6M–$134.3M after Steam's cut

from ~145k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: No Man's Sky at ≈ 17.3M–28.1M copies, ≈ $285.6M–$767.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Exploration (5 of 8) and Space (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Procedural Generation + Exploration, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Procedural Generation + Dwarf + PvE; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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).
