While estimates are difficult to do, because Valve is not a public company, in 2022, it was estimated at at least $7.7 billion, with that almost certainly being a significant underestimate.
If you do some napkin math between their 2022 total revenue and this low total value figure, and just carry that ratio forward to 2025, Valve’s low end total value estimate would be ~$9.6 billion, which would make them rank 8th on this list, just under Krafton, and above Squeenix.
so i only know roblox from few memes, how are they worth almost as much as nintendo? wtf?
Lots and lots and lots of kids play roblox, and use mommy and daddy’s money to buy microtransactions.
Maybe try and think of … Roblox is to Gen A what Pokemon was to Millenials, or Minecraft to Zoomers.
But probably significantly bigger.
Roblox is insane in scale & mostly invisible to anyone older than 23. Right now, some of the peak 24hr concurrent on Steam charts is:
- CS2: 1.5m
- DOTA2: 1.2m
- PUBG: 670k
- ARC Raiders: 420k
- Rust: 235k
These are insane, but Grow A Garden regularly has 2m concurrent every weekend. Adopt Me or Brookhaven can have north of 1m on weekend, especially if they update. Roblox Concerts regularly have 2m or more.
I have 3 kids, and I worked at a well-known Roblox video game company (Top 5). People in our generation just do not know, unless they have kids and definitely know.
I have kids. Roblox is fucking huge man, all kids seem to have played or play Roblox. 40 million game variants and it’s a micro transaction hellscape. Some kids ask for Robux (in game currency) for Christmas/Birthday and that’s all they play or do. It’s truely insane.
It’s the reason it’s a haven for child predators, children flood the system. So it’s a “target rich” environment. Pretty sad but that’s why it’s worth a ton. Micro transactions and massive player base.
… it’s a haven for child predators,
I’m just waiting for Elon Musk to buy them.
As of February 2025, the platform has reported an average of 85.3 million daily active users. According to the company, their monthly player base includes half of all American children under the age of 16.
oh my…
Crazy that CDPR is on the list even though they make like 2 games per decade.
Roblox and Nintendo are both slum lords in their own way. Maximizing profits at the expense of their users.
Roblox targets Gen A children, Nintendo targets Millennial man-children and Millennial casual/cozy/cutesy girl gamers.
I’m not even trying to be rude, that just actually is the most succinct way I can describe the target market demographics for each company.
Nailed it.
I would have guessed that Paradox would be at least $5b, where did all that money for vic3 dlcs go?
Into the gaping maw of totally fucking up the Vampire the Masquerade sequel, would be my guess.
