≈ 124k–152k copies

≈ $1.8M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the range was 1k to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (8 of 8) and Sports (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sports + Simulation, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2016 to 2025, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
