All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

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

Best case: Forza Horizon 4 at ≈ 7.5M–12.2M 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 22k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 17k to 42k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Racing (4 of 8) and VR (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Anime, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Driving + Automobile Sim + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2021, 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).
