The middle of these games

≈ 146k–275k copies

≈ $1.4M–$3.2M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Timberborn at ≈ 1.0M–1.7M copies, ≈ $9.8M–$26.4M 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 7k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 38k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Automation (6 of 8) and Base-Building (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with City Builder + Colony Sim, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Management; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2019 to 2026, and 3 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
