The middle of these games

≈ 9k–65k copies

≈ $57k–$286k after Steam's cut

from ~477 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

4 of your 8 similar games are hits.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 27 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 210.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Utilities (8 of 8) and Software (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mature + Utilities, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Mature + Anime + First-Person; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
