≈ $21k–$70k after Steam's cut

from ~101 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Death Roads: Tournament at ≈ 21k–34k copies, ≈ $86k–$230k after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 25 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 11 to 403.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Rogue-lite (8 of 8) and Combat Racing (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Turn-Based Combat + Roguelike Deckbuilder, priced around $15.
The era: Only 3 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).
