We all knew Steam has more games now than ever, but the actual number is shocking

In the last few years, Steam's library has skyrocketed. So many games come out each day, whether from small indie studios, single-dev productions, or massive AAA corporations. But if you had told me that the past few years had more games than the prior 15, I'd never have believed you.

As per wccftech (via Bloomberg), Steam's total number of video games nearly doubled between 2020 and 2024, going from 9,656 to 18,626 in just four years. That means more games have come out since 2020 on Steam than between the platform's launch in 2003 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Wild stuff, but not all too surprising.
