I think that number may be a titbit exaggerated??
Although is that 10000000 or 100000000000000 ?

According to one statistic there are only 73,000 games on Steam, another stat does say

The Steam catalog in the US includes 101,035 games

which is (according to them) accurate as of May 2024.
Understandably that was 7 months ago and the number of games added each year has grown exponentially since 2003. For instance, there were only 72 games added in the first year when Steam came online but in 2023 over 12,000 new games were added.

Up until March of this year 2,403 new games were added to the Steam catalogue which would average around 800 a month.
Extrapolating that data and using that as an average across the year and all things being equal that would be around 9,612 new games. All things are not really equal though as the run up to the holidays usually results in a flurry of more games to be released.

In conclusion, I find it somewhat unlikely that they released 9,896,562 games (if we are using 10000000 number) since March when the average addition to that point was 801 a month.


I could be wrong of course.


TLDR: Nope, It doesn't look like Stranded Deep is on sale, at least yet.

In addition, according to past information, the process of it being on sale isn't always straightforward forward and the developers (or at least one of them) appear to be working on Stranded Deep 2.

You are quite welcome, glad I could help.

I don't know why you spent the time doing the math, but I appreciate it.

Actually i bet Fred did the math but cos does make a great fermo nut juice
