A typical game among these

≈ 155–871 copies

≈ $345–$627 after Steam's cut

from ~11 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Chinese Characters at ≈ 1k–2k copies.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 4 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 16.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering

The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle + 2D Platformer.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
