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.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Hacking + Simulation, priced around $14.
  • The breakout hits carry Simulation + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2015 to 2023, 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.
