A typical game among these

≈ 391–15k copies

≈ $2k–$59k after Steam's cut

from ~59 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: POLYGON at ≈ 918k–1.5M copies.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 75 reviews in their first month.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Battle Royale (5 of 8) and Card Battler (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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).
