≈ 576k–1.1M copies

≈ $458k–$3.5M after Steam's cut

from ~16k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: People Playground at ≈ 9.1M–14.9M copies, ≈ $25.1M–$67.5M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Simulation (5 of 8) and Sandbox (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Sports, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Football (Soccer) + Free to Play + Local Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2022, and none of them 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
