The middle of these games

≈ 8k–12k copies

≈ $22k–$44k after Steam's cut

from ~267 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: Farm Manager 2021 at ≈ 59k–96k copies, ≈ $326k–$876k 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 112 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 42 to 815.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Simulation (7 of 8) and Idler (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Farming + Management, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Farming + City Builder + Farming Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
Only 2 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
