7 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: 7 Days to Die at ≈ 9.9M–16.1M copies, ≈ $122.7M–$330.0M 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 6k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 16 to 327k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Exploration (6 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Survival + Zombies, priced around $45. The breakout hits carry Zombies + Multiplayer + Base-Building; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 to 2025, and 2 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
