Does this actually work?

We left BLACKTAIL out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including BLACKTAIL's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 4k–39k
best case 69k (The Pathless)
The Adventure lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 9k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 9k copies
≈ $68k after Steam's cut
from ~272 reviews
Best case
≈ 69k copies
The Pathless · ≈ $1.1M after Steam's cut
from 2k reviews

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Adventure + Archery, priced around $40.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2025. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
