≈ 5.5M–18.7M copies

≈ $64.4M–$216.2M after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Building (4 of 5) and City Builder (3 of 5).
The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Strategy + Historical, priced around $60.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2019. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 36 for the most recent game here to about 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
