All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Sports (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Rocket League® at ≈ 28.3M–46.0M 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 22k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 55 to 144k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Sports (3 of 8) and First-Person (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Party Game + Battle Royale. The breakout hits carry Party Game + Battle Royale + Massively Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2023, 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
