As one of the world's largest digital game distribution platforms, new products on STEAM are emerging one after another, and players are dazzled! I believe some people will be curious: How many games will be launched on Steam every year? The doctor specifically checked the data of the statistical website SteamDB. Today I will introduce the basic situation to you.
The basic situation of the current number of Steam platform games is shown in the figure above. At the beginning, when Steam's fame had not yet become popular all over the world, only two or three hundred games were launched every year. It was not until 2014 that the number of game releases began to soar. Due to space limitations, the doctor has been here since 2016, and will briefly talk about the popular products every year according to his own preferences.

It has to be said that the competition in the game market today is really fierce. Taking 2021 as an example, 11,664 games were released in 365 days, which means 32 products will be launched every day, which is really exaggerating!
