According to SteamDB, 18,949 new games were released on Steam this year, beating last year's 14,310 by quite a margin, indicating a significant growth.
With one exception, the number of new games each year has climbed well above the year prior, highlighting ongoing challenges with game discoverability in the coming years.
Only 3,973 games from nearly 19,000 released in 2024 were popular enough to access Steam's collectible features, which reflects a competitive environment.
The report indicates that while only about 20% of games are gaining recognition, the trend suggests an increasing audience capacity for new titles.
