kotaku.com • • technology
Key Points:
- Steam set a new record with 720 games released in a single week from August 24 to 30, averaging about 102 games per day or 4 per hour.
- This surge in game releases contrasts sharply with 2013, when only 436 games were released on Steam throughout the entire year.
- Despite the high volume, nearly 75% of these new games have 10 or fewer player reviews, indicating low player engagement and sales for most titles.
- The previous weekly record of 670 games was set just weeks earlier, and the rapid growth suggests that even higher weekly release numbers, such as 800 games, may be reached soon.
- ICO Partners CEO Thomas Bidaux, who tracks Steam releases, noted that this record-breaking week happened sooner than he initially predicted.
