Epic Games decided to make Year in Review, but instead of a personal one they shared it for the whole store.
Oddly enough, Steam outperforms EGS even in active users numbers. Free games are not enough to make people actually play them. Mobile stores are also just kicking in.

This time AMD made the first official price announcement in China: the 9070 XT is aiming for 4999¥ which is $690 and much lower than the 5070 Ti MSRP of 6199¥. If the same $165 difference remains for the global pricing and the initial benchmarks will be good…
It seems that people still believe that they mean something to NVIDIA: well, check the chart — their B2B AI hardware is insanely more profitable!
(They have a little odd naming of Financial Years, the FY25 Q4 just ended, which means all this is accurate current data, not predictions).

There are 18000+ games released on Steam last year and the majority of them earned nothing.
Moreover: the number of games that earned over $100K actually decreased!

The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 sales data from CDPR:
— Both games were mostly sold digitally
— PC is the major platform for Cyberpunk
— TW3 Switch port was a huge success
— Africa and LATAM are broke

Oddly enough, Turbine analytics suggest that Steam releases are generally less successful. During the last couple of years a lot of small teams shifted from Mobile to Steam, hoping to cash-out, but it cause a significant increase in total released games numbers (12K 2022, 14K '23, and 19K in 2024).
But it's also worth mentioning that the majority of Steam games have cheaper marketing and overall costs per project, which means, even $250K IMO should be considered a success for the majority of them.
In general, I'd say that these markets can't and shouldn't be compared so directly without proper context and adjustments between costs, terms, and then profits.

PS. I hate AI illustrations in this PDF, and it would be five times better without them. But the idea that you can often predict success is true.

Detailed GPU segmentation among active Steam users: the average person clearly can't play average Unreal Engine 5 "games".
