The middle of these games

≈ 3.0M–4.3M copies

≈ $39.9M–$55.8M after Steam's cut

from ~85k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Forza Horizon 4 at ≈ 7.5M–12.2M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (5 of 8) and VR (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Anime. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Anime + Memes; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2021, 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
