Niche

Adventure + Collectathon

Games tagged both Adventure and Collectathon: 246 indie paid launches, 9 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 26,758 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 2 Nov 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Adventure + Collectathon priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Adventure and is about level with Collectathon; priced $10 to $20 it trails both its tags.

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

That is about 0.6 times the 20.5 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.

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 53 games tagged both Adventure and Collectathon priced $10 to $20. 11.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 15.9 in 100 for Adventure-only games and 19.7 in 100 for Collectathon-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 53 games priced $10 to $20; 11.3 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 60 in 100 · $10k+ 38 in 100 · $100k+ 11 in 100.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 53 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.
