About... 85% would you say?
A lot more than that.

I've also been playing games that haven't been released yet.
Has there ever been an extraction shooter that released?
Factory gamers were eating good this year.
Factorio released an expansion and Satisfactory hit 1.0 after a long (and excellent) early access campaign. Dobwe count either as a 2024 game?
I wouldn’t but I’m not in charge of anything. I was wearing a factorio t-shirt many years ago and I think that makes it “out” even if it’s not done.
I don't know what factory I am supposed to grow this week.
Space. Obviously space.
Same with simulators in general like flight/military/factory/etc
I'm the guy who is consistently picking up old games that he's always wanted when they go on a steam sale years later for single digits. So I'm constantly three or four (or more years) behind. And I don't really mind because I'm always a single player who doesn't enjoy any form of online multiplayer.
So do I care that I only last month picked up EU4 and a bunch of DLC for cheap, not one bit. Same for Civ 6.
I'll happily chug away at my old games that no one cares about anymore.
I started Civ6 this year too, got it for like 10 dollarydos
i always wait until the games are actually done (and priced reasonably), and that means nowadays that yeah, no 2024 games.
Seems reasonable to me. What percentage of games on steam have been released in 2024? Gotta be a smoll percentage. Actually, 15 percent seems pretty high now that you mention.
"A whooping 15 percent" seems like a better title.
Usually TF2 is up here too depending on the seasonal update rotation.
I hope this article isn't because the industry might consider shifting to a complete subscription model, I really can't afford the rising cost of new games on release or overpriced subscription models.
That's because most new games either suck the butt or made by assholes, or both
I actually played a fuck ton of new games and early access beta tests this year (34% of all playtime according to steam replay)
I want to get Still Wakes the Deep but for what is apparently a pretty short game I'll be waiting for a better discount. that's about the only 2024 game I've been interested in
And that's a biased statistic. My recap shows I spent 1% of my time playing games released in 2024 when I know, for a fact, that I didn't. Upon further investigation, I found that it was counting my play time in Palworld as 1% even though it still shows as "0 minutes" because I literally only opened it to check that it worked.
Headline says 'only', but the article says that's actually an increase from last year.
of course it is; 0% of players in 2023 played games released in 2024.
I played like 20 hrs of satisfactory last year lol.
However the joke was good so imma let it slide.
This time.

Up from 9% last year tho...
There's a huge backlog of PC games and a lot that just play their favorites and that's it.
9% played 2024 games in 2023?
