Steam to Explode with Game Releases in 2024

According to PC Gamer , statistics from SteamDB show that by the end of 2024, there were nearly 19,000 new game titles 'on the shelves' on Steam. This huge number shows the remarkable growth of the gaming industry, while also raising questions about the quality and accessibility of the products to players.

The number of games is skyrocketing, can Steam guarantee quality?

Despite the huge increase in games, only about 4,000 of them are eligible to enable Steam community features like trading cards, badges, and emotes, suggesting that only a small fraction of them actually attract players' attention.

SteamDB’s list of the highest-rated games of 2024 also shows the gaming community’s preference for free-to-play games. Many high-quality free-to-play titles have surpassed AAA blockbusters to take the top spot.

In today's saturated video game landscape, creating quality, unique products that attract players is a big challenge for developers.

Can Steam maintain its appeal and leadership in the PC game distribution market as the number of products continues to grow at a dizzying rate? The answer depends on the platform's ability to adapt and innovate, as well as the quality of the games it releases.
