A typical game among these

≈ 151k–316k copies

≈ $1.5M–$2.1M after Steam's cut

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: Transport Fever 2 at ≈ 950k–1.5M copies, ≈ $10.4M–$28.1M 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 Simulation (8 of 8) and Trains (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Trains, priced around $35. The breakout hits carry Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2023, and none of them 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
