A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 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 Pirates + Open World, priced around $40.
  • The breakout hits carry Assassin + Stealth + Parkour; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 4 of your 7 similar games shipped in the last two years, so this niche is actively shipping.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
