≈ $133.4M–$168.7M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Exploration (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Best case: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege at ≈ 76.0M–123.4M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Exploration (4 of 8) and Story Rich (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Tactical. The breakout hits carry PvP + Tactical + e-sports; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2011 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
