BING PULLED UP THE FOLLOWING TONIGHT ON MY OWN ENDS:
(1,181,019) total video games worldwide BING 5-2-2024:
over 5 billion showed up in the search results today:
Total Number of Games:
It’s challenging to pinpoint an exact count, but here’s what we know:
On traditional gaming platforms:
Steam hosts 67,821 games.
GOG offers 4,333 games.
The Ubisoft Store has 265 games.
Nintendo Switch boasts 12,062 games.
PlayStation 4 has 5,366 games.
PlayStation 5 features 974 games.
Xbox offers 3,059 games.
Altogether, that’s 93,880 video games on these platforms.
Mobile gaming:
The App Store houses a whopping 288,153 games.
Google Play Store has an impressive 449,490 games.
Combining both mobile platforms, we get a total of (737,643) games.
However, keep in mind that many games release on multiple platforms, leading to some duplicates. So, the true unique count is likely lower.
In summary, there are over 831,000 games across various platforms, but this number includes duplicates
I have (49,851) owned with some variations and mods

I think the real question is how many games reach a certain level of quality that would make them worth someone's time to engage with. The mobile platforms have an insane number of games but how many of those actually function? Seriously. Anyone can upload a game to the Google Store and say it's a game... even a D- average high schooler with a rushed weekend project.
Then I would ask, how many of those games in total (not just the mobile apps) are worth a gamer's time? Gamer's are pickier. We've seen a lot and we know what to give a shot and what to steer away from.
Lastly, congrats on nearing that 50k game accomplishment. Holy hell. I can't even imagine. That's a serious congrats by the way... not sarcastic. If I had more space like a big man cave, I'd probably have most the offerings from the 90's at least.

I don't think you can even give an approximation since there are a lot of video games that aren't registered, and also I don't know where to start when I have to give this number. I mean, sure, you can look on Steam to see how many games are there and on PlayStation and Xbox, but that won't cover it, so I have no idea for an answer

49,851 is probably what will remain since most video games are recycled and refurbished. artwork and game engines are sometimes purchased and recycled by other video game companies today. Only so much artwork can go into a video game before it needs to be rehashed.
In the future you could make unlimited video games from the sprites and artwork of all the 49,851 video games I have today, and no more programing would need to be required I got everything and somebody knows this on this forum what I just posting in this reply is not any new news to at least 2 people or staff members who attend this forum.
I am not trying to be rude but? what I have you can certainly purchase as well I purchased all those video games some of them from stream my collection contains every style and sports video game imaginable not bragging but why don't you guys start buying the same stuff I have from the site I told you about but the GM says is not a valid marketplace BUT IT IS, Just do research on ETSY.
You can all buy what I have darn it! >:(
