The middle of these games

≈ $80.3M–$207.7M after Steam's cut

from ~318k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege at ≈ 75.6M–122.8M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 40k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 89k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on FPS (6 of 8) and Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Tactical. The breakout hits carry Tactical + e-sports + Competitive; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2023, and none of them 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
