The middle of these games

≈ 488–751 copies

≈ $589–$1k after Steam's cut

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.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Super Space Pug at ≈ 13k–22k copies, ≈ $7k–$20k 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 24 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 41.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Sports (8 of 8) and Arcade (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sports, priced around $8.
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).
