2.2M to 3.6M copies, based on its 39k Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

A typical game among these

≈ 1.0M–23.1M copies

≈ $15.9M–$402.1M after Steam's cut

from ~280k reviews

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

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: HELLDIVERS™ 2 at ≈ 28.9M–46.9M copies, ≈ $317.6M–$854.0M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 251k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Shooter (6 of 8) and Co-op (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Third-Person Shooter + Shooter, priced around $40.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
