Steam hosted $3.5 billion in paid game sales last year

Steam hosted $3.5 billion in paid game sales last year
SteamSpy also noted a declining rate of new releases across 2015

Steam was the venue for more than $3.5 billion in paid game sales, according to an analysis of 2015 from SteamSpy's Sergey Galyonkin.

SteamSpy's methods are based on games activated on Steam, so a portion of that $3.5 billion came from products purchased from other sources. However, while Valve may not earn revenue from every cent, Steam is still the hub for that much business. It is also limited to paid sales, so it excludes money that flows through Steam's growing crop of free-to-play games.

Oculus Rift priced $600, ships in March


The much anticipated VR headset finally has a retail price.

With the pre-order program officially now open, Oculus has revealed its price of $599.99 for the Rift headset. The package, expected to ship in March, includes the VR headset, sensor, Oculus Remote, cables, Xbox One Controller, EVE: Valkyrie, and Lucky's Tale.

Speculation around Rift's price point has circulated for months. A $600 price tag is likely a surprise to many, but Oculus founder Palmer Luckey did state last October that the price would come in higher than $350. "I would say I think people are going to be happy with what they get for the price because I really do think it's going to be that best VR headset you can buy," Luckey said at the time.

While it's true that the package includes two games and a controller, when you factor in the cost of a high-end PC gaming rig, VR becomes a very, very expensive proposition for most people. We'll be keeping an eye on reactions to this news.

Oculus is promising more than 100 titles available by the end of this year. Oculus Studios itself will be releasing over 20 games exclusively for the Rift this year, including Rockband VR by Harmonix, Edge of Nowhere by Insomniac, and The Climb by Crytek.
