Games like Force Reboot

A typical game among these

≈ 3.3M–8.7M copies

≈ $36.7M–$93.3M after Steam's cut

from ~218k 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: Counter-Strike 2 at ≈ 624.8M–1015.3M 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 16k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 42k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share FPS (8 of 8) and Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter. The breakout hits carry Competitive + Team-Based + e-sports; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2007 to 2020, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
