Games like Workshop Simulator

A typical game among these

≈ 97k–238k copies

≈ $195k–$1.8M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: SnowRunner at ≈ 1.4M–2.3M copies, ≈ $11.5M–$31.1M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 573 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Exploration (8 of 8) and Simulation (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Automobile Sim, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Driving + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 5 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
