Games like Pushing It! With Sisyphus

A typical game among these

≈ 144k–300k copies

≈ $1.7M–$2.4M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ at ≈ 5.1M–8.2M copies, ≈ $55.6M–$149.5M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 248 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Platformer (6 of 8) and Souls-like (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Souls-like, priced around $35. The breakout hits carry 2D + Hand-drawn + Atmospheric; 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
