The middle of these games

≈ 1.9M–3.7M copies

≈ $28.4M–$55.3M after Steam's cut

from ~80k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 7 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Fallout 4 at ≈ 20.9M–34.0M copies, ≈ $115.0M–$309.3M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 18k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 7k to 35k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Post-apocalyptic (7 of 7) and Open World (5 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Post-apocalyptic, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Exploration + RPG + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2025, and 2 of your 7 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).
