Multiplayer tag
Tag created in June 2017
Multiplayer's popularity amongst developers
This chart displays the games released over the years with the Multiplayer tag 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 idea of the trend a tag follows. It shows if, in proportion, the Multiplayer 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 Multiplayer tag has peaked in 2020, with 1122 games released. The popularity of the tag is in a range between 2.9% in 2010 and 0.69% in 2022.
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.
Multiplayer's popularity amongst players
