Immersive Sim + Multiplayer

Games tagged both Immersive Sim and Multiplayer: 57 indie paid launches, 15 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.

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 beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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 21 games tagged both Immersive Sim and Multiplayer priced $10 to $20. 8 of 21 of them earned $100k+, against 24.7 in 100 for Immersive Sim-only games and 31.7 in 100 for Multiplayer-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Immersive Sim alone and is too small to compare with Multiplayer alone.

Both: 21 games priced $10 to $20; 8 of 21 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 20 of 21 launches · $10k+ 15 of 21 launches · $100k+ 8 of 21 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 21 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 last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
