The Adventure lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 4.2M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 4.2M copies
≈ $33.4M after Steam's cut
from ~75k reviews
Best case

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.

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 Co-op + Funny, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Physics + Sandbox + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2011 to 2018, 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.
