  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 45 games tagged both Open World Survival Craft and Survival priced $10 to $20. 37.8 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 29.4 for Open World Survival Craft-only games and 20.4 for Survival-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 45 games priced $10 to $20; 37.8 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $49,782.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 45 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.
