Each ridge is a genre's share of the year's releases, smoothed over three years and stretched from its leanest year to its best, so the shape says when, not how much. Shooters and arcade games crest first, platformers own the early 1990s, adventure and indie games rise with the open stores, and role-playing and simulation are still climbing.

The remaster wave starts with the HD collections of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 years and peaks when the following generation arrives with a thin launch line-up. Remakes grow more slowly and keep growing. Find them under Edition on Explore.
Counts come from this catalog, not the whole industry: a year's bar is what we hold with a known release year.
