Niches / Shooter + Survival

Niche

Shooter + Survival

Games tagged both Shooter and Survival: 146 indie paid launches, 11 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 Shooter + Survival 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 34 games tagged both Shooter and Survival priced $10 to $20. 20.6 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 19.4 for Shooter-only games and 24.5 for Survival-only games, so the mix beats Shooter alone and trails Survival alone.

Both: 34 games priced $10 to $20; 20.6 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $18,516.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 34 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.
