1990's's popularity amongst developers

Chart displaying the evolution the price of games tagged with 1990's over the years.

This chart shows the amount of games released over the years with the 1990's tag and the percentage of games released on Steam they account for. The number of releases gives an appreciation of the quantity of games published each year. It often tends to increase naturally, just like the total amount of Steam games released.

The percentage, on the other hand, gives a better idea of the trend a tag follows. It shows if, in proportion, the 1990's tag is getting more or less popular from a developer's perspective. The Review chart will tell us if this trend is a good thing (i.e. players interest is increasing, tag is undercrowded) or if it's the opposite.

The 1990's tag has peaked in 2022, with 508 games released. The popularity of the tag is in a range between 0.35% in 2014 and 0.1% in 2019.

Bear in mind that 2023 is not over yet. The number of releases will continue to increase, but the percentage is already a good estimate of things to come.
