A typical game among these

≈ 679k–734k copies

≈ $4.3M–$4.9M after Steam's cut

from ~16k 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: DiRT Rally 2.0 at ≈ 1.4M–2.3M copies, ≈ $7.7M–$20.7M 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 Racing (7 of 8) and Automobile Sim (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Simulation, priced around $27. The breakout hits carry VR + Simulation + Offroad; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2025, 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).
