A typical game among these

≈ 14k–15k copies

≈ $53k–$80k after Steam's cut

from ~423 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: Beyond Citadel at ≈ 117k–190k copies, ≈ $481k–$1.3M 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 150 reviews in their first month; the range was 50 to 1k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Boomer Shooter (8 of 8) and FPS (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Female Protagonist, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + Anime + 2.5D; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 4 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this genre is actively shipping.

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).
