Games like Fruit Ninja VR

A typical game among these

≈ 2.9M–3.5M copies

≈ $23.2M–$53.3M after Steam's cut

from ~87k reviews

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

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: VRChat at ≈ 9.3M–15.1M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 27k reviews in their first month; the range was 10 to 49k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share VR (7 of 8) and First-Person (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Anime. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Anime + Memes; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2024, and 1 of the 7 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
