The middle of these games

≈ 24k–39k copies

≈ $129k–$289k after Steam's cut

from ~993 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

5 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: ELDERBORN at ≈ 77k–124k copies, ≈ $315k–$848k after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 481 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 293 to 1k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on 3D Fighter (7 of 8) and Action RPG (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Action RPG, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Horror + Shooter + Third-Person Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
