The middle of these games

≈ 2.4M–3.0M copies

≈ $10.4M–$19.1M after Steam's cut

from ~58k 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: Fall Guys at ≈ 11.6M–18.9M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 11k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 57 to 144k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Party Game (6 of 8) and Party (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Party Game + Battle Royale. The breakout hits carry Massively Multiplayer + Battle Royale + Family Friendly; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2023, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
