Games like Mini Golf Arena

A typical game among these

≈ 1k–5k copies

≈ $5k–$11k after Steam's cut

from ~87 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Golf With Your Friends at ≈ 1.9M–3.1M copies, ≈ $25.9M–$69.5M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 16 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 26k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sports (8 of 8) and Golf (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mini Golf + Sports, priced around $29. The breakout hits carry Funny + Multiplayer + Family Friendly; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 1 of the 8 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).
