2,360 games released in 2023, in US.
I dunno man, i think the steam deck may have had it beat.
The second sentence in the article is “Valve’s Steam platform had the most new releases overall”.
Not a surprise, given that the deck just plays PC games.
I think that your use of minimization with the word “just” here is grossly inappropriate considering the accomplishment it is to get such a console-like experience with PC games, and in a handheld factor. Before the steam deck launched, there was one device even remotely similar to it and the experience was garbage as it used the Windows UI for everything. There were other devices vaguely in that realm like the GPD Win, but they were the furthest thing from a streamlined experience possible.
Thanks for the 9 days later update
i guess that is something good, in the past nintendo consoles had the critics they don’t have as much games. Well i never really cared about this specific number, because there is for sure a lot of trash as well. Especially in the Steam library. But at the same time the original article doesn’t show any comparison…so the xbox and playstation are probably mixed between old and current gen games.
… And what would that number be if you filtered out all the crappy shovelware?
I would say original first party games may be under 10
