≈ 859k–1.4M copies

≈ $7.0M–$20.6M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Sniper Elite 4 at ≈ 2.2M–3.5M copies, ≈ $35.9M–$96.6M 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 Shooter (7 of 8) and Sniper (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sniper + Shooter, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry War; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2022, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
