2023 was, without a doubt, a great year in terms of launches. We benefited from great exclusives, like Hi-Fi Rush or Starfield, from highly anticipated titles like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora or Diablo IV. Without a doubt, one of the best years in the sector, with enormous diversity for all players.
A great year, without a doubt, during which a launch record was broken. At least on Steam, where two thousand more games were released than last year.
Steam continues to increase its releases year after year
In total, as indicated by the analyzes of Steam Database, 14,533 games were launched on the Valve platform throughout 2023.
The reasons for this large number of launches are diverse, since democratization and easy access to development tools, as well as easy access to selling products on Valve.
A number of games that increases from year to year, going from more than 8,000 in 2019 to more than 14,000 in 2024. And the number only increases, since In the four days we spent in 2024, 40 games were released, which gives us an average of around 29,000 games at the end of the year.
