How many of the ~6,818 titles now disclosing generative AI use were already on Steam in 2024?

I.E. are a lot of these just games that had already been released, updating their disclosure statements based on Valve's new rules?

The article says 1/5 games released this year use it. I'm not sure if ~34,000 games have released on Steam in the last year

It is a little insane how many games release on any given day. On July 15, 2025, 150 "titles" (of which 78 are actual games, not demos or DLC) were added to the Steam store. I would guess that their data includes all titles, but even just 78 real games on what should be a slower-than-average random Tuesday could totally contribute to 34,000 games released in a year.

Yeah, that's why I'd like some more insight.

The initial headline doesn't exactly pass a sniff test... It's possible, but unlikely.

If ~34,000 were added in the last year, that means over 25% of Steam's library of ~114,000 was added in the last year...

If only 1/5 of those were using generative AI, why was there such a massive increase over the last year?

Has Steam made it easier for cash grabs, or... it just doesn't make a lot of sense without more information
