We left GigaBash out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including GigaBash's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

typical (middle half) 1.2M–1.4M
best case 9.6M (Batman™: Arkham Knight)
The Action lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 1.4M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 1.4M copies
≈ $15.9M after Steam's cut
from ~22k reviews
Best case

Batman™: Arkham Knight · ≈ $74.0M after Steam's cut

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 Action + Stealth, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Stealth + Third Person + Adventure; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2010 to 2017, 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.
