Each seller now ships ~60% more — the marketplace's clearest AI fingerprint

Output per seller was flat for years, then bent upward in the generative-AI era.

Listings shipped per active seller, per year

Total listings released in a year divided by the number of sellers who released anything that year

For years the number of packs an active seller shipped annually barely moved. From 2023 it rises sharply — the pattern you'd expect from AI used as a production tool: faster art, faster code, more output from the same studio.

It's the most AI-shaped signal in the data — but not proof. The same window saw the Unreal store consolidate into a larger marketplace, so we report the inflection without claiming a single cause.
