≈ $2k–$36k after Steam's cut

from ~55 reviews

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.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is On-Rails Shooter (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 36 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 16 to 183.

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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
