Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 410–1k
best case 31.6M (Portal 2)
The Physics lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 763 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 763 copies
≈ $2k after Steam's cut
from ~22 reviews
Best case
≈ 31.6M copies
Portal 2 · ≈ $121.9M after Steam's cut
from 463k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits 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 First-Person, priced around $10.
  • The breakout hits carry First-Person + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 4 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
