A typical game among these

≈ 824k–1.7M copies

≈ $12.0M–$22.9M after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

The winners: Winners here lead with Space Sim + Space, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Space Sim + Exploration + Massively Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
