A typical game among these

≈ 17k–22k copies

≈ $46k–$125k after Steam's cut

from ~368 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Pinball FX Classic at ≈ 187k–304k copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Arcade (8 of 8) and Pinball (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Pinball + Simulation. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Score Attack + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2011 to 2025, and 2 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).
