Analysts from The GameDiscoverCo have examined the geography of gamers in Steam games with over 100,000 players. The number of Ukrainian gamers in such projects has decreased since 2021.
"As we all know, the consumer base for computer games is international by nature. They may not be as global as mobile games, but they are far more global than consoles," noted the researchers.
The top 10 countries in Steam games with 100,000+ audience over time are:
- USA — 20.8%
- China — 8.4%
- Russia — 5.7%
- Germany — 5.3%
- United Kingdom — 4.5%
- Canada — 3.8%
- Brazil — 3%
- France — 2.6%
- Poland — 2.4%
- Australia — 2.3%
Ukraine ranks 17th in this rating with 1.04% of players. It holds the same position in the ranking of newer projects released after January 2021, though the share of Ukrainian gamers in these games has decreased by 0.11%. Despite this, the Ukrainian audience still surpasses countries like South Korea and Italy.
