2026 is still in progress — it covers only part of the year, and recent releases haven't had time to reach the review threshold yet, so its release count and success rate both read artificially low. Across complete years (2024–2025) the settled rate is 6.1%.

What the data says

Out of every 100 Split Screen games released on Steam, roughly 5 break out to a meaningful audience — compared with about 6 in 100 across Steam as a whole. Split Screen ranks #259 of 466 tags by release volume, which makes it relatively underserved. Across complete years (2024–2025), Split Screen's success rate settles at 6.1% — the in-progress 2026 reads lower only because its games are still new.

Unlike "top sellers" lists that only count winners, this is an honest base rate — every tracked Split Screen release is in the denominator, including the many that never found an audience. That's the number that actually tells you your odds going in.
