The middle of these games

≈ 81k–408k copies

≈ $426k–$2.1M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: 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 3k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 120 to 10k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Nature (7 of 8) and Sandbox (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Management + Simulation, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Management + Realistic + City Builder; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, and 1 of your 8 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
