Games like Hubris

A typical game among these

≈ 757k–1.3M copies

≈ $7.5M–$13.9M after Steam's cut

from ~24k 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: Half-Life: Alyx at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M copies, ≈ $43.2M–$116.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 7k reviews in their first month; the range was 3k to 27k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share First-Person (5 of 8) and FPS (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + First-Person, priced around $50. The breakout hits carry Horror + Story Rich + Female Protagonist; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2004 to 2023, 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).
