The middle of these games

≈ 748k–934k copies

≈ $5.4M–$7.7M after Steam's cut

from ~24k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Deep Rock Galactic at ≈ 9.4M–15.3M copies, ≈ $77.7M–$208.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 18k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 8k to 103k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Looter Shooter (5 of 8) and Action Roguelike (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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).
