Valve’s annual Steam Year in Review for 2024 reveals that 2024 was the most successful year for seasonal sales, with a 10% rise in revenue compared to 2023. The seasonal sales are major events and the current Spring Sale features its own trailer, offers free stickers, and significant discounts on numerous games, for example, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous at 90% off.

Additionally, 2024 marked a notable growth in themed sales, with 18 events this year compared to just six in 2019. Key upcoming events include the City Builder & Colony Sim Fest, scheduled from March 24 to March 31, and several unique festivals like the Zombies vs. Vampires Fest and Political Sim Fest planned for later in the year.

The last year also saw Steam breaking its record for concurrent users, crossing 40 million at one point, indicating a booming growth in the platform’s user base. Valve anticipates another commendable year ahead, with optimistic projections for the forthcoming Year in Review.
