MobyGames Stats - 2024 edition

By vedder (74757) on January 09, 2025 · 4 comments

A new year, a new graph and animated chart! 🥳 The database visualization showing the almost exponentional growth in games over the past decades and our noble effort to document them all!(Click to enlarge)

An explanation: each coloured shape in the graph represents a platform. The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis represents the number of games released and is stacked. So the height of a shape on a given point in time indicates the number of games released for that platform that year. The total height of the graph on a given point in time shows the total releases that year. The graph is meant to represent game releases and thus excludes DLC, Special Edition and Compilation items. Each game is represented once for each platform it was released on.
As usual we see a drop-off at the end, simply because we haven't been able to keep up with all the new game releases.
Feel free to point out interesting info in the graph and your contributions in the thread!

I have also updated the bar chart race I made last year with this year's data:

I hope it is not too late to wish a Happy New Year and ask again what are your personal goals for 2025, MobyGames or gaming in general related? Here's our resolutions for last year. Let us know what are your plans for this year.

What was the favorite game you played in 2024?

By Plok (256232) on December 30, 2024 · 7 comments

It's that time of the year again - our traditional thread in which we share our favorite games we played during the year that is about to end.

As always, the games themselves need not have come out in 2024 necessarily, all that matters is that you played them and they left a mark on you.
