A typical game among these

≈ 583k–808k copies

≈ $7.1M–$14.0M after Steam's cut

from ~18k 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: Split Fiction at ≈ 3.2M–5.1M copies, ≈ $43.4M–$116.6M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Winners here lead with Co-op + Female Protagonist, priced around $50. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Split Screen + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
