The Singleplayer lane

≈ $589 after Steam's cut
from ~8 reviews
Best case
≈ 11.8M copies
Human Fall Flat · ≈ $91.4M 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 Cats + Adventure, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Adventure + Atmospheric + Great Soundtrack; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2009 to 2022, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Diamond ($1M+). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
