A typical game among these

≈ 7k–43k copies

≈ $32k–$224k after Steam's cut

from ~385 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Prince of Persia The Lost Crown at ≈ 182k–295k copies, ≈ $1.5M–$4.0M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The genre you'd be entering
These games

The winners
Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Exploration, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Action + Action-Adventure + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.
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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
