Games like Neodash

A typical game among these

≈ 149k–445k copies

≈ $373k–$1.8M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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.

Best case: Need for Speed™ Unbound at ≈ 1.5M–2.4M copies, ≈ $29.0M–$77.9M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Arcade (6 of 8) and Music (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Open World, priced around $70. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Open World + Character Customization; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2008 to 2022, and none of them 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).
