Games like FutureGrind

A typical game among these

≈ 451k–760k copies

≈ $4.5M–$9.4M 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: RaceRoom Racing Experience at ≈ 1.8M–2.9M copies.

About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 12k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Racing (6 of 8) and Automobile Sim (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Automobile Sim.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
