The middle of these games

≈ 32k–125k copies

≈ $164k–$707k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

5 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Crusader Kings III at ≈ 3.6M–5.8M copies, ≈ $48.9M–$131.6M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 80 to 22k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (7 of 8) and Medieval (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Medieval + Grand Strategy, priced around $50. The breakout hits carry Character Customization + Grand Strategy + Historical; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
