Steam Releases 14,000 Games in 2023
SteamDB reports that 14,535 games were released on Steam in 2023. That’s an increase of about 2,000 games from the 2022 number (12,563).
According to Circana analyst, Mat Piscatella, the closest number to any other platform in the United States is 2,360 games released on Nintendo Switch in 2023.
The number of games releasing on Steam has exploded in recent years. In just 5 years alone, Steam has seen an increase of over 6,000 game releases.
It certainly shows no signs of slowing down, as in 2024 alone, Steam released 115 games in just 5 days.
Reasons for the huge increase in the number of games released on Steam include the increased democratization of game development tools and loose curation on Valve’s part.
