Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 55k–113k
best case 860k (Garfield Kart)
The Indie lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 90k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 90k copies
≈ $471k after Steam's cut
from ~2k reviews
Best case
≈ 860k copies
Garfield Kart · ≈ $1.7M after Steam's cut
from 14k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Cult Classic + Combat Racing, priced around $5.
  • The breakout hits carry Cult Classic + Combat Racing + Competitive; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2019. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
