A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

3 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 are breakout hits 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 Roguelike Deckbuilder + Card Game, priced around $10.
  • The breakout hits carry Online Co-Op + Horror + First-Person; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
