The middle of these games

≈ 8k–18k copies

≈ $54k–$90k after Steam's cut

from ~343 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.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Cozy (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: LEGO® Builder's Journey at ≈ 107k–174k copies, ≈ $588k–$1.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 115 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 41 to 792.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Cozy (4 of 8) and Puzzle (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle + Cozy, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Indie + Singleplayer + Hidden Object; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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).
