Niche

Farming Sim + Life Sim

Games tagged both Farming Sim and Life Sim: 108 indie paid launches, 22 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 26,280 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Farming Sim + Life Sim priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 41 games tagged both Farming Sim and Life Sim priced $10 to $20. 26.8 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 17.0 in 100 for Farming Sim-only games and 31.3 in 100 for Life Sim-only games, so the mix beats Farming Sim alone and trails Life Sim alone.

Both: 41 games priced $10 to $20; 26.8 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $31,124.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 41 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.
