The City Builder lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 1.0M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 1.0M copies
≈ $11.7M after Steam's cut

Best case
≈ 2.8M copies

from 88k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits 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 Simulation, priced around $29.
  • The breakout hits carry Simulation + Driving + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
