Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com February 19 news, V News Agency officially released the 2022 review on February 17, summarizing some statistics of the platform in 2022.

The V news agency said that the Steam user base grew significantly in mid-2022. At the end of October 2022, the number of online users logging into Steam passed the 30 million mark, just a year and a half after the number first exceeded 20 million. By early January 2023, the number of simultaneous online users had exceeded 33 million.

Tracking the number of active users has its own value, but some of the most popular games are played for free, so Society V is also very concerned about the number of new buyers-that is, the number of players spending on Steam for the first time. CTOnews.com has learned that such players will emerge in a staggering number in 2022, with an average of 83000 new customers buying for the first time every day.

The V news agency said the growth in 2022 was driven by an extraordinary combination of established industry giants and first-time newcomers. Not only the 3A series of masterpieces have achieved excellent results, but the independent fashion models launched by the new game studio also stood out in Steam this year.

A total of 85 of the hottest new products tracked each month come from studios that first released games on Steam in 28 different countries, from Latvia to Indonesia to Argentina.

In terms of game downloads, the total delivery of Steam has increased by 36% compared with 2021, and the total amount of data downloaded by players has reached 44.7 EB. How much is 44.7 EB? That's about the amount of data that each of the 8 billion people on the planet downloads a 5.5 GB game.

The Steam store itself also ushered in many optimizations in 2022, and the type center in the store has been completely renovated so that players can accurately find the game through keywords.

Support for game languages has also increased significantly and now includes more than 100 languages. Developers can now mark support for more languages on their store pages, and players can search or filter by all of these new languages.

DLC and major game updates have new styles in the Steam library, making it easier for the community to understand all the new content created by developers.

The Steam library also adds one-click dynamic filters for games to play together so that players can find multiplayer games immediately.

The Steam mobile app has also been significantly updated, bringing new security and a better shopping experience. Players can seamlessly log in to Steam through the QR code and use the "authorized Devices" page to manage the logged-in PC.

Finally, the Steam Review provides a year-end summary for players, showing a variety of developments: added friends, played games, added game tests, unlocked achievements, and even game time on Steam Deck.
