Does this actually work?

We left God Souls out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including God Souls's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 640k–860k
best case 2.4M (Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem)
The Action lane

A solid, mid-sized genre: most sell around 673k copies, with a few that break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 673k copies
≈ $2.1M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Action, priced around $30.
  • The breakout hits carry Adventure + Action; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
