Games like Void Sails

A typical game among these

≈ 233k–541k copies

≈ $1.6M–$3.1M after Steam's cut

from ~7k 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: Valheim at ≈ 13.9M–22.6M copies, ≈ $114.9M–$308.9M 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 8k reviews in their first month; the range was 2k to 558k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Pirates (5 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Open World + Survival + Crafting; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2005 to 2026, and 2 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
