The Action lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 3.8M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 3.8M copies
≈ $51.7M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits 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 Action + Adventure, priced around $55.
  • The breakout hits carry Action + Story Rich + Mythology; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2017 to 2024, 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.
