VR tag
Tag created in June 2017
VR's popularity amongst developers
This graph shows games released over the years with the VR tag and the percentage they represent. The number of releases gives a sense of the amount of games published each year. It often increases, following 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 VR 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 VR tag has peaked in 2017, with 989 games released. The tag's popularity is in a range between 0.03% in 2011 and 1.9% in 2017.
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.
VR's popularity amongst players
On this chart, you can see the reviews for games associated with the VR tag, both as count and as a percentage of all Steam reviews, and the value for an average game. If the chart is cluttered, you can always deactivate some lines by clicking on the legend.
While the review count clearly quantifies the reviews a tag receives, keep in mind that it also follows the popularity of Steam itself. The value normalized as a percentage of all Steam reviews is often more revealing, as it gives you the popularity trend for VR tag games.
A standard game associated with this tag received on average between 42 (2010) and 841 (2014) reviews. Keep in mind that it is the average and not the median, meaning it is heavily influenced by extreme values, like a very successful game with this tag.
The reviews per game as a percentage of the average show that games in the VR tag received between 29% (2017) and 180% (2013) reviews compared to other tags.
