There is no doubt that over the past 20 years, Steam has become an undisputed center for PC gaming, with its rich games and offers constantly attracting players.Now it seems Valve's strategy of focusing on satisfying players rather than chasing profits has paid off again.

Valve released its new official blog "Steam-Review 2024", showing that more than 500 new games earned more than $250,000 in the first month of its debut.This figure is up 27% compared to 2023, indicating that Steam is still growing significantly.

The report also shows that more than 200 new games have earned more than $1 million in revenue within 30 days of release, an increase of 15% over 2023.In addition, the game's new release revenue has increased nearly 10 times since ten years ago.

“Since 2014, the total annual revenue of new products has increased almost 10 times.

In 2024, more than 500 new products had revenues of more than US$250,000 (a 27% increase compared to 2023).

In 2024, more than 200 new products had revenues of more than US$1 million (a 15% increase compared to 2023).”

2024 is a brilliant year for new products, but success in this area is actually an extension of the trends over the years, and we will continue to create more opportunities for developers who launch new products as always.”

Steam report also shows that Steam Deck expanded to new regions, generating more than 330 million hours of gaming last year, an increase of 64% over 2023.Now, 17,000 games fall into the "playable" or "verified" category of this handheld console.

The report also shows that since March 2020, the number of Steam Deck's peak at the same time online users has almost doubled; people originally thought that the number of active players would stagnate after the epidemic is over, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

“All of these efforts pay off, whether measured in terms of the number of games or the time of play. Our Deck Verification Project now has about 17,000 “playable” and “verified” games (and don’t forget that customers can install and launch any of their Steam games, and can also install other game launchers and stores at will). In 2024 alone, Steam Deck brought an astonishing 330 million hours of Steam game time, a 64% increase from 2023. We also shared the hottest Steam Deck games of 2024 – a star-studded list of hits like Balatro, Black Myth: Goku and Palworld/Palworld/Palworld Beast Palru, as well as Grand Theft AutoV, Halo: Master Chief Collection and Stardew Valley.

The future of Valve hardware is bright.Steam Deck, SteamOS and SteamVR bring a lot of value to players and developers, thanks to our decade of investment in UI, Linux compatibility, input support, custom chips, action tracking, display, battery efficiency, and more.Every developer who makes PC games benefits from these investments, and players can now enjoy their PC games in many new situations.Valve’s hardware team was delighted to see Steam walk into the living room, airport, backyard and wherever players want to play PC games in their library.”
