Over 14k games released on Steam in 2023
– Over 14,000 games were released on Steam in 2023, the highest number of games released in a single year on the platform.
– The number of games released on Steam has increased every year since the platform’s launch, with the exception of 2019.
– The vast majority of these games sell 0 copies and many are “my first game”-type projects.
– Some developers are concerned that the hobbyist and professional sides of game development are merging together and that this is not a good thing.
– Steam’s curation tools make it difficult for beginners to receive the feedback or support they need to improve their games.
– Despite these concerns, it is still better for hobbyist or beginner designers to release their games on Steam than to produce work trapped within the walled gardens of Roblox or Fortnite.
