≈ $22.3M–$33.3M 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.

About half the games that made it here had over 20k reviews in their first month; the range was 14k to 69k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (8 of 8) and Management (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Driving + Transportation, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Driving + Transportation + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2012 to 2026, and 3 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).
