Analysts Report Six Steam Games Generated $1 Billion in 2026
Steam has already generated $15 billion in revenue in 2026 and could break last year’s record, with six games bringing the platform about $1 billion.
According to estimates from Alinea Analytics analysts, Steam has already earned $15 billion, which is more than it did during the entire year of 2023. The platform’s revenue reportedly reached $19.9 billion last year, so a new record is expected in 2026.
About $1 billion of the current revenue was provided by six games:
- Forza Horizon 6 — $210.5 million
- Crimson Desert — $203.3 million
- Resident Evil Requiem — $200.9 million
- Slay the Spire 2 — $148.4 million
- Subnautica 2 — $139.2 million
- Meccha Chameleon — $89.8 million
Two indie games stand out in particular. Slay the Spire 2 is still in early access, while Meccha Chameleon is an inexpensive online hide-and-seek game.
