Steam's 50 best-selling games represent XNUMX% of the platform's revenue

SteamSpy, a platform that collects data from Steam, has reported that 50% of the revenue of the most important platform in the world of video games comes from just one hundred games.

The leading platform in the world of video games is undoubtedly Steam, the platform developed by Valve and which has hundreds of titles of all kinds. There is a platform that reveals platform data, such as SteamSpy, which is owned by Sergey Galyonkin and that allows us to know, more or less, what each of the titles generates. Specifically, this platform has revealed that the one hundred best-selling games by Valve represent 50% of the revenue from this platform.

These data are not a big surprise, since the users of the platform tend to choose the best-selling titles or rather, the most relevant of the moment. Users move by what moves the public and not by betting on innovative, different and little-known titles. Most spectacular of all is that, although these one hundred titles represent half of the platform's income, these one hundred titles represent 0.5% of the titles of Valve's platform.

SteamSpy has also specified that the income data is based on the sale of titles and the income from DLC, expansions and microtansactions has not been included, so it is clean data. The undisputed sales and revenue leader is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which has sold nearly 28 million copies, generating $ 600 million, CS: GO has sold more than 12.5 million copies, generating $ 120 million, and is third. Grand Theft Auto V, which has sold nearly 3.5 copies, grossing a total of $ 83 million. Some really interesting data.
