A typical game among these

≈ 146k–255k copies

≈ $261k–$994k after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

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

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: ORION: Prelude at ≈ 1.8M–2.9M copies, ≈ $488k–$1.3M 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 261 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Dinosaurs (8 of 8) and FPS (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Dinosaurs + FPS, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Online Co-Op + Multiplayer + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 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).
