Risk of Rain 2

Overview

Risk of Rain 2 is a 2020 Action game developed by Hopoo Games and published by Gearbox Publishing. On Steam it has gathered 236,687 player reviews, 94% of them positive, which counts as a very positive reception among indie titles in the Action category. The game is available on windows, and launched at $25. The pairing of developer Hopoo Games with publisher Gearbox Publishing is one of the studio-publisher relationships indielist tracks, letting players find comparable games and letting developers and investors study how Action projects reach the market. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 11.4 million to 26.5 million units, with the full Boxleiter factor breakdown shown on this page rather than a single black-box figure. Within indielist's catalog of indie games mapped to their studios, publishers, and funding, Risk of Rain 2 can be compared against similar Action titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Risk of Rain 2 at roughly 11.4 million to 26.5 million copies, with a median around 18.9 million, derived from its 236,687 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $270.3M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem

Players looking for games like Risk of Rain 2 can compare it on indielist against semantically similar Action titles such as Terraria, Garry's Mod, Phasmophobia, No Man's Sky, ranked by shared tags and genre rather than by ad spend. On the developer side, Hopoo Games's other releases and Gearbox Publishing's wider catalog are one click away, letting developers benchmark where Risk of Rain 2 sits among a studio's body of work and how its publisher's portfolio performs. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same Risk of Rain 2 page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Action game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
