Ticker: price and year-over-year change for 40 genres. Price is the median estimated first-year revenue of indie paid launches. The same figures are on the Genres page.
Niches / Multiplayer + Survival
Multiplayer + Survival
Games tagged both Multiplayer and Survival: 115 indie paid launches, 29 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Multiplayer + Survival priced $10 to $20, west-facing view, hiding samples under 30 launches. 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 beats both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.
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.

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.
The overlap is this niche: the 28 games tagged both Multiplayer and Survival priced $10 to $20. 42.9 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 27.6 for Multiplayer-only games and 21.2 for Survival-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 28 games priced $10 to $20; 42.9 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $78,012.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 28 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 west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
