$102–$275 after Steam's cut $185–$423 before the cut

Thin evidence: 3 reviews. That range swings on one or two people, so read it as a hint, not a measurement.

A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Best case: Among Us at ≈ 22.7M–36.8M copies, ≈ $31.1M–$83.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Party Game (5 of 8) and Battle Royale (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Party Game + Battle Royale, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Massively Multiplayer + Social Deduction + Space; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2023, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
