Psychological tag
Tag created in June 2017
Psychological's popularity amongst developers
This graph shows games released over the years with the Psychological 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 Psychological 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 Psychological game tag peaked in 2022 with 247 games released. The tag's popularity is in a range between 0.03% in 2011 and 0.16% in 2022.
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.
