The middle of these games

≈ 501k–1.1M copies

≈ $7.7M–$21.7M after Steam's cut

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: Darkest Dungeon® at ≈ 6.7M–10.9M copies, ≈ $46.2M–$124.2M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The era

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