≈ $31k–$223k after Steam's cut

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

3 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Prince of Persia The Lost Crown at ≈ 175k–284k copies, ≈ $1.4M–$3.9M 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 133 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 35 to 1k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Precision Platformer (8 of 8) and Exploration (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Metroidvania + Exploration, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Action + Action-Adventure + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
