Dataset: 84,040 Steam games first released between 2021-11-05 and 2026-10-04 (Gamalytic snapshot of 2026-10-04) · Platform status: Wikidata, queried 2026-11-11, plus a hand-checked sample of 60 games · Labels: measured = computed on the full population; sample-based = hand-checked pilot with Wilson 95% intervals; estimate = model-assisted correction.
Summary
- Most Steam games never leave PC. Wikidata lists 4.1% of the 84,040 games on any console and 0.6% on iOS or Android (measured, lower bound). After correcting for what Wikidata misses, the estimate is roughly 4–5% per console and around 1% or less per mobile store (estimate).
- The big earners are the exception. The share listed on a console climbs with estimated Steam revenue: 1.0% below US$10k, 8.5% at US$10k–100k, 21.0% at US$100k–1M, 45.0% at US$1M–10M and 71.6% at US$10M+ (measured, lower bound). Ports follow success; they rarely create it.
- Most of the money is in multi-platform games. Games also listed on a console account for 69.8% of all estimated Steam gross revenue in the window (measured, lower bound).
- PlayStation and Xbox lead among big games; Switch is narrowly ahead among smaller ones. In the US$10k–100k band, Wikidata lists 6.3% on Switch, 5.6% on PlayStation and 4.5% on Xbox. In the hand-checked US$10M+ group, 7/10 are on PlayStation, 8/10 on Xbox and 4/10 on Switch (sample-based).
- Mobile is rare for PC-first games. Most mobile releases in the sample were mobile-first or launched alongside PC (Wuthering Waves, Duet Night Abyss, the GTA Definitive Editions via Netflix).

Wikidata minimum vs corrected estimate
Wikidata minimum (measured)Corrected (estimate)
The unknown rate is 35.2%: 29,552 of the 84,040 games have no Wikidata item. Unknown games stay in the denominator and are never counted as "not released".
1Dataset and scope
- Population: Steam games (app type "game") whose first Steam release, early access or 1.0, whichever came first, falls between 2021-11-05 and 2026-10-04, the snapshot date. Games released after the snapshot are not covered.
- Base data: Gamalytic list snapshot of 2026-10-04 with 144,192 rows; 85,474 are released, and 84,325 of those have a first release on or after 2021-11-05.
- Exclusions (285): 282 legacy re-listings whose original release date is before 2021-10 (for example Beijing 2008, app 10520) and 3 apps whose only genres are software genres. DLC, soundtracks and demos are not in the Gamalytic game list. Final population: 84,040.
- Platform status: as of 2026-11-11.
- Revenue and price: Gamalytic estimates of Steam-only gross revenue and the current list price in USD. They are not Valve figures and exclude console and mobile earnings.
2What each figure measures
| Figure | Type | What it measures | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wikidata minimum | Measured | Share of all games in a group whose Wikidata item lists the platform | Lower bound: Wikidata misses ports, and games without a Wikidata item count as unknown |
| Corrected estimate | Estimate | Wikidata minimum × pilot precision ÷ pilot recall | An order of magnitude; it assumes the pilot's recall holds across the population |
| Pilot share | Sample-based | Hand-checked share released on the platform, 10 games per revenue band | Reliable within a band only; Wilson 95% intervals |
| Revenue-weighted share | Measured | Share of total estimated Steam gross earned by games listed on the platform | Shows where the money is, not how many games |
"Released on a platform" means a released, buyable or downloadable version at any time up to 2026-11-11, before or after the Steam launch. It includes PS4 builds playable on PS5, Xbox Game Preview and Netflix-distributed mobile versions. It excludes streaming (GeForce Now, Steam Link), unofficial APKs and versions that were only announced or wishlistable.
Cohort, not calendar year. Every year split groups games by the year of their first Steam release and measures their platform status now (2026-11-11). It does not count ports made in that calendar year. Older cohorts have had more time to be ported.
3Method
- Match to Wikidata. We downloaded every Wikidata link between a Steam app ID (property P1733) and a platform (property P400): 202,787 app–platform rows. 54,488 of the 84,040 games matched (64.8%).
- Hand-check a stratified pilot. Six revenue bands with 10 games each, drawn at random with seed 20261111. Each game was checked against official store pages (Nintendo, PlayStation Store, Xbox, App Store), publisher and platform-holder announcements, and press. Codes: Y released, A announced only, U unclear, N no evidence found.
- Estimate. Wilson 95% intervals within each band. The population-weighted figure uses band sizes, with a conservative interval made from the weighted band bounds (unclear counted as released for the upper bound).
- Correct Wikidata. Corrected share = Wikidata share × precision ÷ recall, both measured in the pilot. The range uses the Wilson bounds on recall. Precision is 10/11 for PlayStation and 1 for the other platforms.
Sources checked but not used in this edition: IGDB and RAWG, which require API credentials, and Google Play and the console stores' search pages, which have no public search API. The Apple iTunes Search API was used as a helper for iOS in the pilot.

Listed on any console, by Steam revenue band (Wikidata minimum)
All values are Wikidata minimums (measured). Wikidata coverage itself rises with revenue, so the real gap between bands is, if anything, larger.

The decline for 2025–2026 mixes two effects: less time to port, and lower Wikidata coverage (57.3% for 2025 and 14.3% for 2026). Games with at least US$100k in estimated revenue are much better covered, so their trend is cleaner:
| Cohort, US$100k+ | Games | Switch | PlayStation | Xbox | iOS | Android |

- Price tracks production scale: 40.7% of games priced US$30+ are listed on a console, against 0.6% of games below US$5.
- Free-to-play games are listed on mobile more often than paid games (0.9% against 0.6%) and on Switch much less often (0.2% against 3.2%).
- "12+ months" means a first Steam release on or before 2025-10-04.
- Switch 2 is listed for 330 games and Meta Quest for 16. Quest coverage is clearly incomplete, so no Quest share is reported.

Two-thirds of the games sit in the band below US$10k, where a single hit in 10 games moves the weighted estimate by several points. The weighted row is therefore too imprecise to quote; the corrected Wikidata figures are used instead.
How complete is Wikidata?

| Android | 6 | 4 | 66.7% (30.0–90.3%) | Vectoroids, Lust Goddess | none |
Wikidata missed about 1 in 3 console releases in the sample: mostly recent ports (Airport Baggage Simulator and Tower Dominion reached consoles in 2026-08 and 2026-09), small-publisher ports, and Madden NFL 27, which has no Wikidata item at all. It also listed PS5 for Lost Skies, where only an announcement was found.

9What this means for Venn titles
Rogue Reigns, Paradoxical and Dark Island: Faded Memories were not yet released on Steam at the snapshot date, so the comparison uses games with the same Steam tags (Wikidata minimum, measured):
| Comparable set | Games | Switch | PlayStation | Xbox | iOS | Android | Any console |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roguelike Deckbuilder, all | 829 | 3.0% | 1.8% | 1.7% | 1.1% | 1.2% | 3.3% |
| Roguelike Deckbuilder, US$100k+ | 158 | 10.8% | 7.6% | 6.3% | 5.1% | 5.7% | 11.4% |
| First-Person + Puzzle, all | 3,979 | 1.6% | 2.7% | 2.3% | 0.2% | 0.2% | 3.2% |
| First-Person + Puzzle, US$100k+ | 262 | 17.2% | 27.1% | 22.9% | 3.4% | 2.7% | 30.5% |
| Souls-like, all | 1,547 | 5.6% | 9.5% | 8.7% | 0.6% | 0.5% | 10.9% |
| Souls-like, US$100k+ | 260 | 24.2% | 45.8% | 40.0% | 3.1% | 3.1% | 49.2% |
- Rogue Reigns (Roguelike Deckbuilder): consoles are uncommon even for successful deckbuilders (11.4% of those above US$100k), and mostly Switch (10.8%). Mobile fits the genre better than most PC-first genres (5.1% iOS, 5.7% Android).
- Paradoxical (first-person Puzzle): 30.5% of comparable games above US$100k are on a console, led by PlayStation (27.1%) and Xbox (22.9%). A console version is a realistic upside after Steam traction.
- Dark Island: Faded Memories (Souls-like): the most multi-platform genre of the three. 49.2% of comparable games above US$100k are on a console (PlayStation 45.8%, Xbox 40.0%, Switch 24.2%).
- General rule: a console port is earned by Steam performance, not a launch default.
10Data limitations
- Wikidata is incomplete and lags. Pilot recall was 58.8–73.3% for consoles, and 35.2% of games have no Wikidata item, mostly 2025–2026 releases. Wikidata minimums are lower bounds, and cohort trends mix porting with coverage.
- Wikidata does not separate announced from released platforms. The pilot found 1 such case among 42 Wikidata platform listings.
- The pilot is small (60 games), so intervals within each band are wide. The weighted population estimate should not be quoted.
- The hand check relies on web search and public store pages. For very small games, "N" means no evidence was found, not proof of absence. Bundled, renamed or spin-off versions were judged case by case.
- Revenue bands use Gamalytic's Steam-only estimates. Games that launched first on mobile or console (the GTA Definitive Editions, Wuthering Waves) count as Steam games also released elsewhere, even though the Steam version was the port.
- The population ends at the 2026-10-04 snapshot; platform status is as of 2026-11-11.
- Games later delisted from a platform (GTA III left Netflix in 2024-12) count as released.
- Price bands use the current list price, which may differ from the launch price.
