A typical game among these

≈ 5k–10k copies

≈ $29k–$54k after Steam's cut

from ~210 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Symphonia at ≈ 10k–16k copies, ≈ $55k–$147k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 89 reviews in their first month; the range was 30 to 142.

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

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).
