Games like Cricket 22

A typical game among these

≈ 1.2M–1.9M copies

≈ $19.1M after Steam's cut

from ~38k 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: EA SPORTS FC™ 24 at ≈ 2.8M–4.5M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 6k reviews in their first month; the range was 55 to 18k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sports (5 of 8) and Simulation (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Sports.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
