Games like American Arcadia

A typical game among these

≈ 22.6M–68.5M copies

≈ $223.9M–$432.7M after Steam's cut

from ~604k reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Euro Truck Simulator 2 at ≈ 59.7M–97.0M copies, ≈ $328.0M–$881.9M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 14 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 200k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (6 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Driving + Transportation, priced around $20.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 to 2025, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
