A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 are breakout hits far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Sandbox + Open World, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2015 to 2023, a lane with a long track record.
