$14–$36 after Steam's cut $25–$56 before the cut

Thin evidence: 2 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.

The middle of these games

≈ 1.8M–2.0M copies

≈ $16.6M–$23.5M after Steam's cut

from ~40k reviews

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

All 7 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Forza Horizon 5 at ≈ 6.9M–11.3M copies, ≈ $114.2M–$307.2M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Automobile Sim (7 of 7) and Driving (7 of 7).
The winners
Winners here lead with Racing + Driving, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2021, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
