Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the range was 349 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Racing (7 of 8) and Driving (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + 1990's.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 to 2024, and 3 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).
