1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Lara Croft GO at ≈ 170k–276k copies, ≈ $466k–$1.3M after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here

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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
