The middle of these games

≈ 8k–19k copies

≈ $34k–$146k after Steam's cut

from ~366 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: Two Point Hospital at ≈ 1.1M–1.7M copies, ≈ $8.8M–$23.6M 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 151 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 41 to 327.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Medical Sim (7 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Management, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Building + Funny + Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
