Games like Batman™: Arkham VR

A typical game among these

≈ 209k–413k copies

≈ $1.2M–$4.0M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) 40th Anniversary Edition at ≈ 1.8M–2.9M copies, ≈ $29.9M–$80.5M 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 First-Person (5 of 8) and VR (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Flight, priced around $42. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Flight + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2026, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
