≈ $21k–$78k after Steam's cut

from ~144 reviews

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

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Riding Club Championships at ≈ 30k–48k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Horses (8 of 8) and Racing (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Horses + Simulation. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Action + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
