The middle of these games

≈ 897k–1.3M copies

≈ $8.9M–$14.0M after Steam's cut

from ~28k 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: Manor Lords at ≈ 2.3M–3.7M copies, ≈ $24.8M–$66.6M 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 22k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 17k to 44k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on City Builder (5 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation, priced around $29. The breakout hits carry Simulation + Driving + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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