Survival Horror tag
Tag created in June 2017
Survival Horror's popularity amongst developers
This chart displays the games released over the years with the Survival Horror 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 Survival Horror tag is getting more or less popular from a developer's perspective. 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 Survival Horror tag has peaked in 2022, with 477 games released. The tag's popularity is in a range between 0.13% in 2011 and 0.33% 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.
Survival Horror's popularity amongst players
This chart shows the reviews for games with the Survival Horror tag, either as count and as a percentage of all Steam reviews, and the average value for a game.
