The platform initially released just seven games in 2004, but this number has progressively risen in the ensuing years, reaching a staggering 10,263 in 2020, up from 8,033 in 2019. What started off as a small platform for Valve to provide updates to its games has turned into the largest computer gaming platform in the world. The online gaming platform, Steam, was first released by the Valve Corporation in 2003.
