A typical game among these

≈ 513–1k copies

≈ $675–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~26 reviews

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

2 of the 6 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Co-op (2 of 6), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Palworld at ≈ 12.2M–19.8M copies, ≈ $100.5M–$270.1M after Steam's cut. 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 8 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 469k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Co-op (2 of 6) and Dating Sim (2 of 6).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Online Co-Op + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2026, and 1 of the 6 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
