What the numbers mean

Steam has never been this crowded. Since Valve opened the store to almost every developer in 2017, the number of new games has kept climbing, and 2026 is on track to beat every year before it. Most new releases are small: games from one person or a tiny team, often at a low price, and many find only a handful of players. A few break through, and you can follow them on the most played new releases and the best rated new games.

We count every game that is on the Steam store today by its official Steam release date. Games that were removed from Steam later are not in these numbers, so older years come out a little lower than they were at the time. See what is coming next in the Steam release calendar and how we collect our data in how we measure Steam data.
