≈ 3k–4k copies

≈ $2k–$10k after Steam's cut

from ~105 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: CosmicBreak Universal at ≈ 36k–58k copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 41 reviews in their first month; the range was 16 to 766.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Shooter (7 of 8) and 3D Fighter (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Shooter + Character Action Game. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Massively Multiplayer + RPG; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2020 to 2026, and 2 of the 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
