A typical game among these

≈ 830–993 copies

≈ $2k–$6k after Steam's cut

from ~28 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.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Project Hospital at ≈ 286k–464k copies, ≈ $2.0M–$5.3M 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 56 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 119.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Life Sim (7 of 8) and Medical Sim (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Management + Resource Management, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Management + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 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 31 for the most recent game here to about 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
