≈ 529–602 copies

≈ $32k–$47k after Steam's cut

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Wraith of the Galaxy at ≈ 4k–7k copies, ≈ $15k–$39k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners: Winners here lead with Rhythm, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Rhythm + Early Access + 3D Fighter; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
