Character Customization + PvP

Games tagged both Character Customization and PvP: 96 indie paid launches, 9 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 26,291 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Games mostly reviewed outside China: drops games with 35% or more of their reviews in Chinese. That share is measured for games with 2,000+ reviews; for smaller games it is guessed from the game's name. Lens figures exist at all prices only; inside a price band this page shows the standard figures.

Showing Character Customization + PvP priced $10 to $20, west-facing view. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Character Customization and is about level with PvP; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Character Customization and is too small to compare with PvP.

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

Character Customization + PvP is too small to compare with Character Customization and is too small to compare with PvP: 3 of its 20 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 24.6 in 100 for Character Customization and 16.9 in 100 for PvP.

Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 20 launches, 3 hits.

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 20 games tagged both Character Customization and PvP priced $10 to $20. 3 of 20 of them earned $100k+, against 25.7 in 100 for Character Customization-only games and 17.2 in 100 for PvP-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Character Customization alone and is too small to compare with PvP alone.

Both: 20 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 20 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 14 of 20 launches · $10k+ 11 of 20 launches · $100k+ 3 of 20 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 20 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 west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
