Does this actually work?

We left Dead out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Dead's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 16.9M–34.1M
best case 123.2M (PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS)
The Multiplayer lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 24.8M copies, while a few break out far above.

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 Survival + Shooter, priced around $14.
  • The breakout hits carry Shooter + FPS + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2014 to 2021, 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.
