A typical game among these

≈ 6k–8k copies

≈ $9k–$29k after Steam's cut

from ~209 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell at ≈ 127k–207k copies, ≈ $525k–$1.4M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 60 reviews in their first month; the range was 4 to 77.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Parkour (7 of 8) and Runner (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with First-Person + Parkour, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry First-Person + Indie + Abstract; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2025, and 1 of the 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
