The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Beat 'em up, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Online Co-Op + Co-op + Beat 'em up; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2017. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 43 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
