≈ $55.5M–$91.0M after Steam's cut

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: Don't Starve Together at ≈ 22.6M–36.7M copies, ≈ $93.0M–$250.0M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Rogue-like (5 of 8) and Action Roguelike (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Survival + Open World Survival Craft, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Survival + Open World Survival Craft + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2023, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
