I estimated using internal industry context: the global video games market is on the order of hundreds of billions USD, while flagship Soulslike releases (Elden Ring, Dark Souls series, Sekiro, Bloodborne and related catalogue sales and DLC) imply single-title revenues in the hundreds of millions to low‑billion range over their lifetimes. Aggregating annual sales, ongoing digital revenue, and recurring interest from core gamers yields an estimated annual market for Soulslike action RPGs of roughly $1.2B.
