Games like ASTRA

The middle of these games

≈ 243k–4.4M copies

≈ $1.8M–$24.0M after Steam's cut

from ~35k 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: DARK SOULS™ III at ≈ 18.3M–29.7M copies, ≈ $301.6M–$810.8M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 637 to 14k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Exploration (8 of 8) and Open World (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Souls-like + Dark Fantasy, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Souls-like + Difficult + Atmospheric; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2009 to 2025, and 3 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
