The Adventure lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 725 copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 725 copies
≈ $2k after Steam's cut

Best case
≈ 123.2M copies
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
from 2.7M reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 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 Multiplayer, priced around $10.
  • The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Sandbox + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2006 to 2023, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
