Popularity of 'In-App Purchases' over time
This chart displays the games released over the years with the In-App Purchases feature and the percentage of total Steam releases they represent. The releases count conveys the quantity of games published on Steam each year. It usually follows the increasing amount of Steam games released.
The percentage, on the other hand, gives a better view of the trend a feature follows. It shows if, in proportion, the In-App Purchases feature is getting more or less popular. The Review chart will tell us if this trend is a good thing (i.e. players interest is increasing, feature is undercrowded) or if it's the opposite.
The In-App Purchases game feature peaked in 2022 with 351 games released. The popularity of the feature is in a range between 0.22% in 2015 and 1.1% in 2023.
Keep in mind that the current year is not over, so the number of games released will still increase. But the percentage is usually a good estimate.
Evolution of 'In-App Purchases' game reviews
On this chart, you can see the reviews for games associated with the In-App Purchases feature, both as count and as a percentage of all Steam reviews, and the value for an average game.
