Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2.4M–4.8M
best case 10.6M (Battlefield™ 2042)
Games like World Of Mystery

A typical game among these

≈ 2.4M–4.8M copies

≈ $19.1M–$91.9M after Steam's cut

from ~103k 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 Combat (2 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: Battlefield™ 2042 at ≈ 8.1M–13.1M copies, ≈ $133.3M–$358.3M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 36k reviews in their first month; the range was 10k to 89k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Combat (2 of 8) and Management (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter, priced around $60.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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).
