Games like 3030 Deathwar Redux - A Space Odyssey

A typical game among these

≈ 5.1M–6.4M copies

≈ $39.1M–$59.0M after Steam's cut

from ~137k 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: No Man's Sky at ≈ 17.5M–28.5M copies, ≈ $289.3M–$777.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Space (6 of 8) and Survival (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Exploration + Procedural Generation, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Procedural Generation + Exploration + Sci-fi; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
