≈ $2k–$8k after Steam's cut

from ~73 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Modern Tanks: War Tank Games at ≈ 11k–19k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 22 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 16 to 30.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Shooter (5 of 8) and Arcade (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Tanks + War. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + War + Simulation; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, and 2 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
