Games like Expansion VR

A typical game among these

≈ 260–2k copies

≈ $1k–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~26 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: Desperados III at ≈ 413k–671k copies, ≈ $4.5M–$12.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 3k reviews in their first month.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Real Time Tactics (8 of 8) and VR (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Real Time Tactics + Stealth, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Stealth + Western + Tactical; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 1 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).
