The middle of these games

≈ 4.3M–8.5M copies

≈ $49.5M–$83.7M after Steam's cut

from ~132k 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: BeamNG.drive at ≈ 20.3M–33.0M copies, ≈ $139.6M–$375.3M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Your set
Your set clusters on Open World (6 of 8) and Physics (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Open World + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Automobile Sim + Crime + Third Person; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2026, and 1 of your 7 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
