≈ $42.1M–$56.3M after Steam's cut

Best case: Batman™: Arkham Knight at ≈ 7.8M–12.7M copies, ≈ $43.0M–$115.6M after Steam's cut.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Superhero (8 of 8) and Open World (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Open World + Superhero, priced around $20.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2015. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 61 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).
