Monthly release volume

New game releases by calendar month, excluding NSFW-flagged titles and non-game app types. Recent months may rise as our catalog detects late-arriving entries.

Trailing 5-month average: 1,709releases/month. Current month is highlighted; it’s a partial figure (18 of ~30 days).

Day-of-week release pattern

Average new releases per weekday over the last 90 days. The weekend drop-off is an industry convention: publishers avoid Saturday/Sunday launches because press coverage, first-day support staffing, and marketing pickups all favor weekdays. Thursday is the single most active launch day across the Steam catalog.

How these numbers are computed

  • Disturbine’s crawler hits Steam’s public IStoreService delta endpoint every 12 minutes and pulls full app details (title, genres, publisher-declared content descriptors, price) on every change.
  • Community tag data is pulled from SteamSpy and rechecked for fresh releases on a rolling 3-day cadence.
  • Release events (new release, Early Access launch, EA → full release, free demo public) are detected by comparing each game’s previous and current state; we keep an append-only event log indexed by occurrence date.
  • Counts exclude NSFW-flagged titles by default. NSFW classification combines Steam genre tags, the publisher-declared content_descriptors field, required_age, SteamSpy tag voting, and description-text patterns.
  • Future-dated releases are excluded from the “released” metrics even when Steam reports them as live.
