Games sold over Steam generated over $3.5bn last year, according to analytics site Steam Spy.
The outlet (http://steamspy.com/) – run by one Sergey Galyonkin – claims that 3,000 new games were released on the platform (up from 1,900 in 2014), and the number of concurrent users reached a whopping 12 million people.
That figure of $3.5bn is also purely game sales and does not include revenue from free-to-play titles or any downloadable content for games.
As well as some impressive topline figures, Galyonkin goes into some detail (https://medium.com/steam-spy/steam-sales-in-2015-2e81a6bb0f5a#.3v9jezqun) about how 2015 was for Steam.
Unsurprisingly, December was the biggest month for Steam in no short part thanks to the Winter Sale. $436,138,345 was generated in revenue for that month.
The second best month in 2015 was April, due to the launch of the long-awaited PC SKU of Grand Theft Auto V. $411,360,280 was generated in that month.
Rockstar’s crime title and Fallout 4 were the biggest titles of the year in terms of the year in terms of sales and revenue.
