Does this actually work?

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 13k–26k
best case 1.2M (The Expendabros)
The Action lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 17k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 17k copies
≈ $60k after Steam's cut
from ~440 reviews
Best case
≈ 1.2M copies
The Expendabros
from 18k reviews
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 Free to Play + Action, priced around $15.
  • The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Multiplayer + Local Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2014 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
