Physics tag
Tag created in June 2017
Physics's popularity amongst developers
This graph shows games released over the years with the Physics tag and the percentage they represent. 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 view of the trend a tag follows. It shows if, in proportion, the Physics tag is getting more or less popular. The Review chart can let us know if this trend is a positive thing (i.e. players interest for the tag is growing) or a negative one (the tag is overcrowded).
The Physics game tag peaked in 2021 with 888 games released. The popularity of the tag is in a range between 0.19% in 2010 and 0.6% in 2021.
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.
Physics's popularity amongst players
On this chart, you can see the reviews for games associated with the Physics tag, both as count and as a percentage of all Steam reviews, and the value for an average game. If the normalized and average lines are too small, you can deactivate the review count and % of the average lines by clicking on the legend.
The review count gives a view of the sheer amount of reviews a tag receives, but it also follows the popularity of Steam itself. That is why the normalized value as a percentage of all Steam reviews is often more interesting, as it gives you the popularity trend for Physics tag games.
A typical game associated with this tag collected on average between 98 (2010) and 1510 (2014) reviews. Bear in mind that it is the average, and it can be strongly influenced by extreme values, like the release of a very popular game with this tag.
The reviews per game as a percentage of the average show that games in the Physics tag received between 126% (2023) and 269% (2010) reviews compared to other tags.
