With over 13,000 new games on Steam this year so far, over a third of them haven't even made enough to break even on Valve's submission fee

Over a third of games released on Steam this year might not have even made enough money to break even on Valve's submission fee, according to Steam analytics site Gamalytic.

As reported by GamesRadar, Gamalytic estimates that almost 13,000 new entries have hit Steam since the beginning of this year, highlighted by Soulash developer Artur Smiarowski over on X. While it's not quite as many as 2024's total releases yet—last year saw a whopping 18,000 games come out—it's almost on par with 2023's 13,179 releases with a few months still to go.
