≈ 256k–715k copies

≈ $2.3M–$6.0M after Steam's cut

from ~8k 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.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2k to 24k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Level Editor (7 of 8) and Arcade (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Music + Level Editor, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Precision Platformer + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2013 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
