The middle of these games

≈ 96k–106k copies

≈ $739k–$1.2M after Steam's cut

from ~3k reviews

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: Schedule I at ≈ 7.8M–12.7M copies, ≈ $42.9M–$115.2M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 662 to 184k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Automation (7 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Open World, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Multiplayer + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 6 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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