Does this actually work?

The Action lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 82k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 82k copies
≈ $485k after Steam's cut
from ~2k reviews
Best case
≈ 13.1M copies
Deep Rock Galactic · ≈ $151.6M after Steam's cut
from 378k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it, and 2 are 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 Dwarf + Co-op, priced around $30.
  • The breakout hits carry Co-op + PvE + FPS; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, 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.
