Games like Football, Tactics & Glory

A typical game among these

≈ 738k–1.1M copies

≈ $12.5M–$13.6M after Steam's cut

from ~29k 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: EA SPORTS™ FIFA 23 at ≈ 3.7M–6.1M copies. 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 5k to 21k.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Management (8 of 8) and Simulation (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Sports. The breakout hits carry Controller + PvP + Team-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
