≈ $4k–$22k after Steam's cut

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Combots at ≈ 15k–24k copies, ≈ $20k–$54k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 79 reviews in their first month; the range was 68 to 111.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Arena Shooter (6 of 8) and FPS (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with VR + FPS, priced around $5.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
