Copies, estimated from reviews

Games like Guns, Blocks, and Steel

A typical game among these

≈ 298k–601k copies

≈ $1.9M–$2.9M after Steam's cut

from ~8k 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: BattleBit Remastered at ≈ 3.6M–5.9M copies, ≈ $15.0M–$40.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share FPS (8 of 8) and Shooter (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Military + Massively Multiplayer + War; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 to 2024, and 1 of the 7 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
