Games like Big Farm Story

A typical game among these

≈ 105k–182k copies

≈ $1.3M–$2.4M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Dinkum at ≈ 725k–1.2M copies, ≈ $4.0M–$10.7M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 24k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Farming Sim (5 of 8) and Life Sim (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Agriculture, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Relaxing + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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