All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: The Outer Worlds at ≈ 702k–1.1M copies.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 819 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 36 to 7k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Action RPG (5 of 8) and Action-Adventure (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Action RPG.
The era: Only 1 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
