Steam Week in Review: 54 idle games released on Steam last week, and many look eerily similar
All the interesting Steam facts for the week ending September 6.
Last week, Steam released 54 idle games, with a total of 4,314 idle games on the platform. Among these, some stand out for their unique qualities, such as Next Reign: Kingdom, We Need More Humans!, and Zad Archery. However, the majority of the released idle games appear to be similar, with a similar blue color scheme and AI-generated elements.
This trend began in 2020 and continued into 2024, with the number of idle games increasing exponentially year over year. While there are still high-quality idle games on Steam, the flood of mindless games developed with AI seems to be a growing concern.
