The Shooter lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 4k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 4k copies
≈ $2k after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it, and 1 is too small to compare.

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 Card Game + Action, priced around $10.
  • The breakout hits carry Card Game + Old School + Online Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2018 to 2024, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
