≈ 302k–710k copies

≈ $2.0M–$3.8M after Steam's cut

About half the games that made it here had over 14k reviews in their first month; the range was 4k to 48k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 3D Fighter (5 of 8) and Fighting (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fighting, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Local Multiplayer + Fighting + Action; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
