The Platformer lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 12k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 12k copies
≈ $88k after Steam's cut
from ~293 reviews
Best case
≈ 5.7M copies
Celeste · ≈ $44.2M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 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 Precision Platformer + Difficult, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Indie + Precision Platformer + 2D Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2015 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Silver ($10k–$250k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
