Niche

Local Multiplayer + Sports

Games tagged both Local Multiplayer and Sports: 60 indie paid launches, 4 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".
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Local Multiplayer + Sports priced $10 to $20.

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: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 13 games tagged both Local Multiplayer and Sports priced $10 to $20. 15.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 5.3 for Local Multiplayer-only games and 11.9 for Sports-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 13 games priced $10 to $20; 15.4 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $911.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 13 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.
