A typical game among these

≈ 114–147 copies

≈ $151–$722 after Steam's cut

from ~4 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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Cookie Clicker at ≈ 2.3M–3.8M copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.5M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 25 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 12k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Clicker (8 of 8) and Idler (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Idler + Clicker, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Management + Indie; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

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