Niches / PvP + Third Person

Niche

PvP + Third Person

Games tagged both PvP and Third Person: 108 indie paid launches, 3 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 PvP + Third Person priced under $5. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails both its tags; priced under $5 it trails PvP and is level with Third Person.

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?Under $5

PvP + Third Person trails PvP and is level with Third Person: 0.0 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced under $5, against 0.5 in 100 for PvP and 0.1 in 100 for Third Person.

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 53 games tagged both PvP and Third Person priced under $5. 0.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 0.6 for PvP-only games and 0.1 for Third Person-only games, so the mix trails PvP alone and is level with Third Person alone.

Both: 53 games priced under $5; 0.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $101.

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.
