Games like Hell Let Loose

A typical game among these

≈ 1.0M–1.8M copies

≈ $7.6M–$14.0M after Steam's cut

from ~27k 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: World of Tanks Blitz at ≈ 6.4M–10.4M copies. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 5k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 19k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share World War II (7 of 8) and FPS (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Tanks + Shooter. The breakout hits carry Tanks + Free to Play + Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2010 to 2024, and 2 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
