≈ 83k–121k copies

≈ $715k–$2.5M after Steam's cut

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: Sultan's Game at ≈ 868k–1.4M copies, ≈ $6.0M–$16.0M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 833 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 77 to 19k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Automobile Sim (6 of 8) and Racing (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Automobile Sim + Driving, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Early Access + Sandbox + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
