2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Plants vs. Zombies™ Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition at ≈ 1.3M–2.0M copies, ≈ $10.4M–$27.9M 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 147 reviews in their first month; the range was 79 to 10k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Hero Shooter (7 of 8) and Third-Person Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hero Shooter, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Action + Multiplayer + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
