Games like KartKraft™

A typical game among these

≈ 196k–630k copies

≈ $1.2M–$6.1M after Steam's cut

from ~10k 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: F1® 2021 at ≈ 863k–1.4M copies.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 117 to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sports (8 of 8) and Racing (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Driving.
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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
