Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 66–326

Games like SWAT

A typical game among these

≈ 66–326 copies

≈ $73–$365 after Steam's cut

from ~5 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS at ≈ 95.8M–155.7M copies. 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 3 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 76k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share FPS (8 of 8) and Battle Royale (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Battle Royale + FPS, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 2 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
