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.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Party Game (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Party Animals at ≈ 2.0M–3.2M copies, ≈ $10.8M–$29.1M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 37 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 22k.

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

The winners: Winners here lead with Party Game + Co-op, priced around $20.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2023, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
