The middle of these games

≈ 1.7M–1.8M copies

≈ $16.6M–$23.6M after Steam's cut

from ~41k reviews

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

6 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Assetto Corsa at ≈ 9.7M–15.8M copies, ≈ $53.4M–$143.6M 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 25 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 6k.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Racing (8 of 8) and Simulation (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Racing + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry VR + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2026, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
