The middle of these games

≈ 3.1M–5.3M copies

≈ $21.5M–$36.4M after Steam's cut

from ~107k 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: Lethal Company at ≈ 12.7M–20.6M copies, ≈ $34.8M–$93.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 35k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4k to 114k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (6 of 8) and First-Person (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + First-Person, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Funny + Online Co-Op + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2025, and 2 of your 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
