4 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: The Planet Crafter at ≈ 1.9M–3.0M copies, ≈ $12.2M–$32.9M after Steam's cut.

About half the games that made it here had over 96 reviews in their first month; the range was 3 to 32k.

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

The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Base-Building, priced around $24.

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).
