The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share VR (6 of 8) and Shooter (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Swordplay, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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).
