Valve has announced a significant milestone for its digital distribution platform, Steam: in 2025 alone, the platform distributed an astounding 100 exabytes of data. To put this into perspective, 100 exabytes is equivalent to a massive 100 million terabytes (TB), or approximately 190,000 gigabytes (GB) of data being transferred every single minute. This immense volume underscores the rapid growth of the platform, as Valve noted that Steam’s overall traffic has increased by more than tenfold in just the last decade.
