The middle of these games

≈ 293k–634k copies

≈ $1.3M–$3.3M after Steam's cut

from ~11k reviews

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

7 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Phasmophobia at ≈ 20.8M–33.8M copies, ≈ $114.4M–$307.5M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 40k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (8 of 8) and Psychological Horror (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Psychological Horror, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Online Co-Op + Co-op + Supernatural; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2012 to 2024, and 1 of your 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
