Niches / 3D + 3D Platformer

Niche

3D + 3D Platformer

Games tagged both 3D and 3D Platformer: 956 indie paid launches, 16 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

  • A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 26,758 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 2 Nov 2026. How it is measured.

Showing 3D + 3D Platformer priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with 3D and is about level with 3D Platformer; priced $10 to $20 it trails both its tags.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

3D + 3D Platformer trails both its tags: 6.2 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.2 in 100 for 3D and 9.9 in 100 for 3D Platformer.

That is 1 in 16, about 0.3 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 97 games tagged both 3D and 3D Platformer priced $10 to $20. 6.2 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 17.6 in 100 for 3D-only games and 14.1 in 100 for 3D Platformer-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 97 games priced $10 to $20; 6.2 in 100 earned $100k+ (1 in 16), odds by size $1k+ 67 in 100 · $10k+ 30 in 100 · $100k+ 6 in 100.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 97 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
