The Crafting lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 19k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 19k copies
≈ $173k after Steam's cut

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 Open World Survival Craft + Crafting, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Pixel Graphics + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Gold ($250k–$1M before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
