Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

A typical game among these

≈ 911–11k copies

≈ $17k–$64k after Steam's cut

from ~87 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.

Best case: Construction Simulator 2015 at ≈ 384k–624k copies, ≈ $1.6M–$4.3M 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 32 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 326.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Simulation (8 of 8) and City Builder (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Simulation + Building, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Open World + Driving; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 to 2024, and 1 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
