Niches / 3D Platformer + Walking Simulator

Niche

3D Platformer + Walking Simulator

Games tagged both 3D Platformer and Walking Simulator: 130 indie paid launches, 2 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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 106 games tagged both 3D Platformer and Walking Simulator priced under $5. 0 of 106 of them earned $100k+, against 3 of 895 for 3D Platformer-only games and 0.9 in 100 for Walking Simulator-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 3D Platformer alone and is too small to compare with Walking Simulator alone.

Both: 106 games priced under $5; 0 of 106 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $241.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 106 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.
