≈ $57–$555 after Steam's cut

from ~5 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: Team Fortress 2 at ≈ 79.1M–128.6M 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 2 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 6.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

These games
The similar games share Tower Defense (7 of 8) and Hero Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Hero Shooter + FPS. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Class-Based + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2007 to 2024, and 1 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 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).
