A typical game among these

≈ 147k–205k copies

≈ $1.2M–$1.4M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Dinkum at ≈ 725k–1.2M copies, ≈ $4.0M–$10.7M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

These games

The winners
Winners here lead with Agriculture + Farming Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Agriculture + Multiplayer + Relaxing; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
