The middle of these games

≈ 232k–541k copies

≈ $1.6M–$3.1M after Steam's cut

from ~7k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Valheim at ≈ 13.4M–21.8M copies, ≈ $110.6M–$297.4M 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 8k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2k to 132k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Pirates (5 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Open World + Survival + Crafting; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2005 to 2025, and 1 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
