Games like Hunkenstein

A typical game among these

≈ 34.9M–125.7M copies

≈ $339.6M after Steam's cut

from ~1.1M reviews

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

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

About half the games that made it here had over 30 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 165k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2009 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
