Games like I Fetch Rocks

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–4k copies

≈ $10k–$41k after Steam's cut

from ~68 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: Liftoff®: FPV Drone Racing at ≈ 429k–697k copies, ≈ $2.4M–$6.3M 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 28 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 197.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Flight (8 of 8) and Immersive Sim (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Flight + Racing, priced around $18. The breakout hits carry Racing + Sports + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2025, and 1 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
