All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Sports (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 5k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3k to 26k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Sports (4 of 8) and Competitive (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Football (Soccer) + Competitive. The breakout hits carry Team-Based + Football (Soccer) + Racing; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2022, and none of them 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
