On September 4, 2026, discussions arose concerning the status of funds within a Steam Wallet if Valve bans a user, highlighting that regular users often hold balances from various sources. Just minutes prior, Steam announced it generated $15 billion in revenue during the first eight months of 2026, already surpassing its total revenue for all of 2023. Previously, on September 3, analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics confirmed this $15 billion in gross revenue, stating it represented a 15% increase from 2025. Elliott's analysis, published in a Substack post, also revealed that the game "Crimson Desert" alone contributed over $203 million, making it Steam's most lucrative new intellectual property this year. He further described Steam as "Valve's functional monopoly on the PC market."
