Battle Royale + PvP

Games tagged both Battle Royale and PvP: 41 indie paid launches, 3 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.

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

Battle Royale + PvP is too small to compare with Battle Royale and is too small to compare with PvP: 2 of its 10 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 3 of 19 launches for Battle Royale and 16.4 in 100 for PvP.

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: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 10 games tagged both Battle Royale and PvP priced $10 to $20. 2 of 10 of them earned $100k+, against 1 of 9 for Battle Royale-only games and 16.2 in 100 for PvP-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Battle Royale alone and is too small to compare with PvP alone.

Both: 10 games priced $10 to $20; 2 of 10 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $1,916.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 10 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.

The leaders, in words

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale earned 48.6% of the estimated first-year money of the 41 Battle Royale + PvP launches.
Battle Royale is led by Contractors Showdown : ExfilZone, with 34.1% of its money.
PvP is led by REMATCH, with 26.6% of its money.
No game holds over half of this pair's money, so the pair is not a one-hit market.

Filters do not apply here yet. Leaders and shares are for all prices and the Standard view; per price band and per lens they are not computed yet.
