A typical game among these

≈ 36k–59k copies

≈ $129k–$238k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: World of Tanks Blitz at ≈ 6.4M–10.4M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Shooter (6 of 8) and Tanks (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tanks + Shooter. The breakout hits carry FPS + Multiplayer + Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2025, and 3 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
