Games like Vetrix

A typical game among these

≈ 4k–11k copies

≈ $13k–$24k after Steam's cut

from ~127 reviews

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Tetris® Effect: Connected at ≈ 224k–364k copies, ≈ $2.5M–$6.6M 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 146 reviews in their first month; the range was 32 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share VR (7 of 8) and Puzzle (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Competitive, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Multiplayer + Competitive; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
