Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The change shows for genres with 100+ launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
Niches / Multiplayer + Sports
Multiplayer + Sports
Games tagged both Multiplayer and Sports: 106 indie paid launches, 13 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Multiplayer + Sports priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. 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 trails Multiplayer and beats Sports; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Multiplayer and is too small to compare with Sports.
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 + Sports is too small to compare with Multiplayer and is too small to compare with Sports: 2 of its 25 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 32.2 in 100 for Multiplayer and 9.9 in 100 for Sports.
Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures. Small sample: 25 launches, 2 hits.
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.
The overlap is this niche: the 25 games tagged both Multiplayer and Sports priced $10 to $20. 2 of 25 of them earned $100k+, against 34.7 in 100 for Multiplayer-only games and 10.2 in 100 for Sports-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Multiplayer alone and is too small to compare with Sports alone.
Both: 25 games priced $10 to $20; 2 of 25 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 18 of 25 launches · $10k+ 15 of 25 launches · $100k+ 2 of 25 launches.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 25 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.
