The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Battle Royale (5 of 8) and FPS (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Battle Royale + FPS, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Shooter + FPS + Battle Royale; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
