A Reddit user analyzed data from 5,773 AA and indie games released in 2024 that earned at least $500 on Steam. The analysis revealed that the top 10% of games account for the vast majority of revenue in both AA and indie categories. Median revenue was significantly higher for publisher-backed games ($16,222) compared to self-published ones ($3,285). High-performing genres included NSFW, simulation, and strategy, while puzzle and platformer genres had lower median revenue. The data is available in a Google Sheet for further exploration.
