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 Free to Play + Simulation, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Vehicular Combat + Combat + World War II; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2012 to 2020, 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.
