2026 is still in progress — it covers only part of the year, and recent releases haven't had time to reach the review threshold yet, so its release count and success rate both read artificially low. Across complete years (2024–2025) the settled rate is 8.1%.

What the data says

Out of every 100 Turn-Based Combat games released on Steam, roughly 8 break out to a meaningful audience — compared with about 6 in 100 across Steam as a whole. Turn-Based Combat ranks #113 of 466 tags by release volume, and #75 by success rate among well-populated genres, which makes it relatively underserved. Across complete years (2024–2025), Turn-Based Combat's success rate settles at 8.1% — the in-progress 2026 reads lower only because its games are still new.

Unlike "top sellers" lists that only count winners, this is an honest base rate — every tracked Turn-Based Combat release is in the denominator, including the many that never found an audience. That's the number that actually tells you your odds going in.
