≈ $188–$45k after Steam's cut

from ~16 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Wraith of the Galaxy at ≈ 5k–8k copies, ≈ $15k–$41k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 31 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Racing (5 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
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.
The era: 6 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
