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 RPG + Open World, priced around $15.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2025. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • 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.
