Steam: 2023 Results

The only big store that cracked discoverability is flourishing.

The company primarily focused on product updates, but there were several interesting figures.

• More than 500 games on Steam earned over $3 million in 2023. This is twice as many as in 2018.

• The company is proud that a quarter of the projects in the tops were released by developers whose games had not been released on Steam before.

However, this does not mean that the teams did not have such experience before.

• Steam surpassed the 33 million CCU mark for the first time. Moreover, in 2024, the record has already been broken.

• The company is very satisfied with its sales. For example, during the autumn sale of games earning over $1 million, there were 21% more than in 2022. Sales at such events are generally increasing.

• Steam also notes that people actively use gift cards - both physical and digital. From December 20 to December 31, 2023, physical cards worth $80 million were activated.
