A typical game among these

≈ 120k–206k copies

≈ $937k–$2.3M after Steam's cut

from ~4k 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: Wasteland 3 at ≈ 557k–904k copies, ≈ $6.1M–$16.5M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The winners
Winners here lead with Choices Matter + Story Rich, priced around $32. The breakout hits carry Choices Matter + Story Rich + Character Customization; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2017 to 2024, 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
