A typical game among these

≈ 5k–1.2M copies

from ~740 reviews

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: VRChat at ≈ 9.3M–15.1M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 31 reviews in their first month; the range was 9 to 117.

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

The genre you'd be entering

The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Anime.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
