A typical game among these

≈ 52k–73k copies

≈ $332k–$509k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: ABZU at ≈ 1.2M–1.9M copies, ≈ $6.3M–$17.0M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Exploration (6 of 8) and Underwater (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Underwater + Exploration, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Relaxing + Underwater; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
