The middle of these games

≈ 992k–1.2M copies

≈ $13.2M–$23.6M after Steam's cut

from ~32k 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.

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

Best case: Planet Zoo at ≈ 2.8M–4.6M copies, ≈ $34.7M–$93.4M 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 26k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 13k to 34k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (8 of 8) and Sandbox (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Building + Simulation, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Building; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
