typical (middle half) 22k–71k
best case 1.2M (War Robots)
The Action lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 36k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 36k copies
≈ $624k after Steam's cut
from ~838 reviews
Best case
≈ 1.2M copies
War Robots
from 30k 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 Robots + Mechs, priced around $30.
  • The breakout hits carry PvP + Third-Person Shooter + 3D; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2013 to 2024, 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.
