A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Simulation + Driving, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Driving + Destruction + Automobile Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
