The middle of these games

≈ 146k–150k copies

≈ $178k–$441k after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: A Little to the Left at ≈ 471k–765k copies, ≈ $1.9M–$5.2M 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 686 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 117 to 1k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Wholesome (7 of 8) and Cozy (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Wholesome, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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).
