Does this actually work?

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 457k–4.6M
best case 64.7M (War Thunder)
Games like Battle Tanks: World War II

The middle of these games

≈ 457k–4.6M copies

≈ $1.5M–$2.5M after Steam's cut

from ~25k 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: War Thunder at ≈ 49.3M–80.1M copies.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 4k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 988 to 6k.

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