≈ 544k–987k copies

≈ $3.3M–$19.3M after Steam's cut

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.

About half the games that made it here had over 11k reviews in their first month; the range was 3k to 88k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Exploration (6 of 8) and First-Person (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + FPS, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Post-apocalyptic + Shooter + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
