A typical game among these

≈ 1.3M–3.7M copies

≈ $28.4M after Steam's cut

from ~78k 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™ FIFA 23 at ≈ 3.7M–6.1M copies.

What their first month looked like

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Sports (8 of 8) and e-sports (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Sports.
When they shipped
Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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).
