A typical game among these

≈ 1.0M–1.6M copies

≈ $8.9M–$38.3M after Steam's cut

from ~37k 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.

Best case: BattleBit Remastered at ≈ 3.6M–5.9M copies, ≈ $15.0M–$40.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Destruction + Massively Multiplayer + War; a typical game here doesn't.

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