A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 48.1M 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 $12.
  • The breakout hits carry Third-Person Shooter + Battle Royale + Shooter; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2009 to 2020, 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.
