Does this actually work?

We left vrkshop out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including vrkshop's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 1.8M–3.8M
best case 27.0M (The Forest)
The Simulation lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 2.0M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 2.0M copies
≈ $20.6M after Steam's cut

The Forest · ≈ $208.6M after Steam's cut
from 677k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it, and 2 are too small to compare.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Survival, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Survival + Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2015 to 2021, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
