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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Rail Route at ≈ 65k–105k copies, ≈ $444k–$1.2M 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 106 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 17 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on City Builder (8 of 8) and Puzzle (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Building + Management, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Management + Time Management + Economy; 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
