Games like Warbox

A typical game among these

≈ 420k–963k copies

≈ $4.2M–$9.4M after Steam's cut

from ~17k 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: Totally Accurate Battle Simulator at ≈ 3.8M–6.2M copies, ≈ $21.0M–$56.6M 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 7k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 55k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Military (5 of 8) and Sandbox (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sandbox + War, priced around $19. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Sandbox + Funny; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2024, 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
