The RPG lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 76k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 76k copies
≈ $581k after Steam's cut
from ~2k reviews
Best case
≈ 4.8M copies
Escape the Backrooms · ≈ $18.6M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 7 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Horror + Multiplayer, priced around $10.
  • The breakout hits carry Horror + Psychological Horror + Survival Horror; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2013 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
