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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Euro Truck Simulator 2 at ≈ 59.4M–96.6M copies, ≈ $326.7M–$878.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Simulation (7 of 8) and Building (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Driving + Transportation, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Driving + Transportation + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2012 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).
