There are, as you may have noticed, a lot of videogames nowadays. We're spoiled by the constant flow of game releases: It would be impossible for me to put any real amount of time into every PC game I was interested in, let alone every game that's well reviewed or recommended by friends and critics I trust.
But while there are more than enough games for everyone, that doesn't necessarily mean they're being played. According to SteamDB, more than 19,000 games have launched on Steam in 2025—but almost half of those new releases have been reviewed by fewer than 10 users.
