≈ 131–3k copies

≈ $252–$12k after Steam's cut

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Galaxy Burger at ≈ 71k–115k copies, ≈ $233k–$626k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 18 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 553.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Cozy (5 of 8) and Job Simulator (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Cooking + Simulation, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Online Co-Op + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: 7 of the 8 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).
