The middle of these games

≈ 375–1k copies

≈ $924–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~17 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Retrowave at ≈ 385k–626k copies, ≈ $317k–$852k 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 13 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3 to 7k.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Racing (7 of 8) and Arcade (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + 1980s, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry 1980s + Indie + Retro; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 to 2025, and 2 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
