All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Cyberpunk (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Best case: Warframe at ≈ 42.7M–69.4M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 443 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Cyberpunk (4 of 8) and Co-op (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Action RPG + Looter Shooter. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Action RPG + Looter Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2011 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
