Games like Lawnmower Game: Mission X

A typical game among these

≈ 83k–124k copies

≈ $721k–$2.5M after Steam's cut

from ~3k reviews

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Sultan's Game at ≈ 876k–1.4M copies, ≈ $6.0M–$16.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 832 reviews in their first month; the range was 77 to 19k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Automobile Sim (6 of 8) and Racing (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Automobile Sim + Driving, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Early Access + Sandbox + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
