How many video games does average Steam User have ?

[Kaname]

I am guessing around 200-500 seems about right.

[Ahmed Subhan]

ACCORDING TO ME 25

[Kargor]

Valve doesn't publish those numbers (as far as I know, anyway), so we can't know.

You can't just take what you see in the forums, and assume it applies to all users.

The average is probably close to 2. Many many accounts are created with just csgo.

A lot of accounts probably have 0 games.

A few years ago (around 2017) I did read articles about this. The mentioned the average amount of games on accounts was 10-11. Nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it's lower.

Keep in mind that free to play games don't count, for example.

It depends if the user has money to pay for games.
I think 5- 13 games.
Counting on free games. Specially if the user just play games casually on Steam and doesn't really talk or does anything to the community..

Satoru's absolutely right. This subject is far too wide to get a definitive answer. It really does depend on HOW you look at it.

Your idea of average might not be another persons average, and indeed you might not even know what your version of average is.


I would bet it's fairly low, as the OP seems to make the easy mistake of assuming that all or most accounts are legitimate single accounts of a user. That's almost certainly not the case. There will be TONS of accounts having nothing more than a token free game or so. TOns of accounts from repeated cheaters buying just the one game, getting banned and swicthing accounts and so on. There will be tons of forgotten accounts, tons of otherwise dormant accounts.

We can get some rough allusion to this from the difference in numbers of total number of steam accounts and concurrent users online at any time. It;s a wide disparity.

I think this is again a bit of an argument from personal incredulity fallacy, although it's a very easy one to make.
