Exponential growth trend! Steam Warm Game Type has set off a wave of growth in recent years
According to the latest statistics of overseas game research institutions, Cozy Games is setting off a new wave of growth on the Steam platform. Although compared with traditional popular categories such as hardcore action and horror, such as horror and thriller, this type of work that focuses on a relaxed atmosphere still accounts for a relatively small proportion, its expansion speed is impressive.
SteamDB data shows that in 2015, there were only two new games in the category of warm games. After ten years of development, the number of new games in this type skyrocketed to 374 in 2024, showing an exponential growth trend.
Although the current mainstream market is still dominated by combat killing games, more and more players are beginning to accept this gentle and healing game experience. It is worth noting that this change indicates that player demand is extending from a single stimulus to a diverse emotional experience, and healing games may open up a broader market space in the future.
