≈ 5k–21k copies

≈ $15k–$52k after Steam's cut

from ~205 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: IdleOn - The Incremental MMO at ≈ 741k–1.2M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 106 reviews in their first month; the range was 13 to 26k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Idler (6 of 8) and Clicker (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Idler + MMORPG. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Free to Play + MMORPG; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
