Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 8k–148k

Games like Yaga

A typical game among these

≈ 8k–148k copies

≈ $113k–$3.0M after Steam's cut

from ~955 reviews

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

4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Black Myth: Wukong at ≈ 30.1M–48.9M copies, ≈ $496.2M–$1334.2M 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 370 reviews in their first month; the range was 65 to 836k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action RPG (8 of 8) and Souls-like (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Mythology + Action RPG, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Mythology + Combat + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 3 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
