Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 310k–1.1M

Games like Spirittea

A typical game among these

≈ 310k–1.1M copies

≈ $1.9M–$10.3M after Steam's cut

from ~22k 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: The Sims™ 4 at ≈ 5.0M–8.1M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 3k reviews in their first month; the range was 532 to 14k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Life Sim (7 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Life Sim + Character Customization.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
