Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.1M–2.1M

Games like Gear Up

A typical game among these

≈ 1.1M–2.1M copies

≈ $9.7M–$13.3M after Steam's cut

from ~39k 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.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Building (3 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Team Fortress 2 at ≈ 79.1M–128.6M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Building (3 of 8) and Robots (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Hero Shooter + FPS. The breakout hits carry Hero Shooter + Class-Based + Team-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2007 to 2021, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
