Niches / 3D + Online Co-Op

Niche

3D + Online Co-Op

Games tagged both 3D and Online Co-Op: 121 indie paid launches, 19 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 26,291 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing 3D + Online Co-Op priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair beats 3D and trails Online Co-Op; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with 3D and is too small to compare with Online Co-Op.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of its tags

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.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

3D + Online Co-Op is too small to compare with 3D and is too small to compare with Online Co-Op: 10 of its 19 launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.3 in 100 for 3D and 39.4 in 100 for Online Co-Op.

Small sample: 19 launches, 10 hits.

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 19 games tagged both 3D and Online Co-Op priced $10 to $20. 10 of 19 of them earned $100k+, against 15.4 in 100 for 3D-only games and 37.4 in 100 for Online Co-Op-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with 3D alone and is too small to compare with Online Co-Op alone.

Both: 19 games priced $10 to $20; 10 of 19 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 17 of 19 launches · $10k+ 14 of 19 launches · $100k+ 10 of 19 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 19 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 leaders, in words

  • R.E.P.O. earned 46.1% of the estimated first-year money of the 121 3D + Online Co-Op launches.
  • It also leads 3D, with 16.5% of that tag's money.
  • Online Co-Op is led by Palworld, with 27.4% of its money.
  • No game holds over half of this pair's money, so the pair is not a one-hit market.
