A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Does this actually work?

We left Stories One out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Stories One's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 337k–506k

The middle of these games

≈ 337k–506k copies

from ~10k 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: Paladins® at ≈ 10.5M–17.1M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Shooter (5 of 8) and FPS (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter. The breakout hits carry FPS + Shooter + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
