Steam tag
Estimated revenue, market economics, and the top games tagged Underwater on Steam.
Share of Underwater games by estimated lifetime revenue. Averages hide this — a few hits pull the mean far above what a typical game in the genre makes.
For developers
Total estimated revenue of Underwater games, grouped by the year they launched — a release-cohort trend, not a live time-series. Recent years are still accumulating revenue after launch.
