Games like Agents of Mayhem

A typical game among these

≈ 5.5M–7.6M copies

≈ $22.9M–$48.4M after Steam's cut

from ~78k 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: Grand Theft Auto V Legacy at ≈ 101.5M–164.9M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Open World (8 of 8) and Sandbox (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Crime. The breakout hits carry Crime + Automobile Sim + First-Person; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2008 to 2015, and none of them 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 61 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
