Games like Tchia

A typical game among these

≈ 4.3M–8.5M copies

≈ $49.8M–$83.9M after Steam's cut

from ~132k reviews

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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: BeamNG.drive at ≈ 20.5M–33.4M copies, ≈ $141.2M–$379.6M after Steam's cut. 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 58k reviews in their first month; the range was 38k to 122k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Open World (6 of 8) and Physics (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Automobile Sim + Crime + Third Person; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2026, and 1 of the 7 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
