The middle of these games

≈ 91k–154k copies

≈ $703k–$1.3M after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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: Fistful of Frags at ≈ 2.1M–3.4M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 454 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 63 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Shooter (5 of 8) and Arena Shooter (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Arena Shooter + FPS. The breakout hits carry PvP + PvE + Western; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2022, 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).
