≈ $515–$10k after Steam's cut

from ~9 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Stick Fight: The Game at ≈ 4.3M–7.0M copies, ≈ $5.9M–$15.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
The games that made it here had under 37 reviews in their first month.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on 4 Player Local (7 of 8) and 2D Fighter (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Fighting + 2D Fighter, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Funny + Fighting; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
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).
