Games like Hans

A typical game among these

≈ 114–439 copies

≈ $178–$520 after Steam's cut

from ~7 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: BETON BRUTAL at ≈ 32k–52k copies, ≈ $62k–$166k after Steam's cut. 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 288.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Precision Platformer (8 of 8) and 3D Platformer (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 3D Platformer + Precision Platformer, priced around $7. The breakout hits carry Atmospheric + Exploration + Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 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).
