Games like PILGRIM

A typical game among these

≈ 66k–164k copies

≈ $411k–$576k after Steam's cut

from ~4k 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 7 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Lethal Company at ≈ 12.7M–20.6M copies, ≈ $34.8M–$93.6M 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 3k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 114k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share First-Person (7 of 7) and Horror (7 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Psychological Horror, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Psychological Horror + Survival Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 6 of the 7 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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).
