A typical game among these

≈ 206k–555k copies

≈ $1.6M–$3.3M after Steam's cut

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: Need for Speed™ Most Wanted at ≈ 699k–1.1M copies, ≈ $3.8M–$10.3M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

These games: The similar games share Automobile Sim (8 of 8) and Racing (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Driving; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2006 to 2025, and 1 of the 8 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
