≈ $53.3M–$99.2M after Steam's cut

The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Open World.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2026, 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).
