Valve Corporation and Steam Valuation in 2025: How Big Is PC Gaming’s Quiet Giant?

Valve Corporation and Steam Valuation in 2025: How Big Is PC Gaming’s Quiet Giant?

Valve Corporation – often misspelled as “Value Corporation” – is one of the most powerful companies in gaming, yet it has no ticker symbol, no quarterly earnings calls and no official valuation.
