≈ 109k–219k copies

≈ $752k–$2.3M after Steam's cut

from ~6k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 620 to 20k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on JRPG (5 of 8) and Historical (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Souls-like + Action RPG, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Souls-like + Difficult + Dark Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, and 1 of your 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
