Swedish developers continue to confidently lead the global gaming market, accounting for 20% of the total Steam revenue in 2025.
According to an Alinea Analytics report, despite a small population of 10 million people, Sweden is rapidly taking over the industry.
Stockholm, the country's capital, accounts for 16% of this figure. Of particular note is the game R.E.P.O. from Uppsala, which brought in 3% of all Steam sales. Also successful were the projects Abyssus and RV There Yet, developed in Skövde, and in Gothenburg, games such as The Midnight Walk and Lost in Random: The Eternal Die were created.
Swedish studios are actively working on major projects such as Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6, which maintain stable sales, as well as Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead Studios and the highly anticipated new installment in The Division franchise from Massive.
Sweden continues to set trends in the gaming market, despite its small role on the global stage.
