Games like My Little Life

A typical game among these

≈ 1.5M–1.8M copies

≈ $11.7M–$15.1M after Steam's cut

from ~48k 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: Stardew Valley at ≈ 43.5M–70.7M copies, ≈ $179.4M–$482.4M 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 4k reviews in their first month; the range was 951 to 51k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (8 of 8) and Life Sim (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Life Sim + Simulation, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Life Sim + Character Customization + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2026, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
