Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
Niches / Multiplayer + PvP
Multiplayer + PvP
Games tagged both Multiplayer and PvP: 539 indie paid launches, 45 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Multiplayer + PvP priced $10 to $20, west-facing view, hiding samples under 30 launches. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures.
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.
Multiplayer + PvP trails Multiplayer and beats PvP: 26.3 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 29.0 in 100 for Multiplayer and 15.5 in 100 for PvP.
That is about 1.4 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
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: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 80 games tagged both Multiplayer and PvP priced $10 to $20. 26.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 30.0 for Multiplayer-only games and 8.0 for PvP-only games, so the mix trails Multiplayer alone and beats PvP alone.
Both: 80 games priced $10 to $20; 26.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $23,073.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 80 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.

Multiplayer + PvP holds in 3 of 3: every lens keeps the chance and typical earnings within a quarter of the standard figures.
