A typical game among these

≈ 448–1k copies

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

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Experimental (3 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Titanfall® 2 at ≈ 7.1M–11.6M copies, ≈ $58.7M–$158.0M after Steam's cut. 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 5 reviews in their first month; the range was 2 to 20k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Experimental (3 of 8) and Exploration (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Card Battler + Card Game, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Card Battler + Card Game + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
