≈ $17.6M–$24.5M after Steam's cut

from ~40k reviews

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

All 7 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Assetto Corsa at ≈ 9.7M–15.8M copies, ≈ $53.4M–$143.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Automobile Sim (7 of 7) and Driving (7 of 7).
The winners
Winners here lead with Racing + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry VR + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2013 to 2022, and none of them 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
