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: RimWorld at ≈ 7.5M–12.1M copies, ≈ $71.8M–$193.1M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on City Builder (7 of 8) and Colony Sim (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Colony Sim + Base-Building, priced around $35. The breakout hits carry Survival + Management + Building; 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).
