The middle of these games

≈ 184k–2.3M copies

≈ $9.7M–$25.6M after Steam's cut

from ~11k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS at ≈ 94.5M–153.6M 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 3k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 230 to 35k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on FPS (8 of 8) and Third-Person Shooter (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Survival + Shooter. The breakout hits carry Battle Royale + Survival + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2009 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
