The Adventure lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 41k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 41k copies
≈ $362k after Steam's cut

Best case
≈ 2.5M copies
L.A. Noire · ≈ $19.2M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it, and 1 is too small to compare.

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 Adventure + Crime, priced around $22.
  • The breakout hits carry Open World + Adventure + Crime; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2009 to 2024, 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.
