Any Steam user can now create a list of recommended games and share them with followers, be it a website (a la our totally hacked together official PCWorld Recommended Games list that I made last night as an experiment), a YouTube personality ( TotalBiscuit), a company ( Devolver), or a random community member. To be honest, this is probably the most important part of the update.

“If you manage to look through all the products on Steam (quite an effort!) then you’ll only be able to get a new queue when new games or software are released,” Valve claims.įinally, there’s curation. Once a product has shown up in your Queue, it will never surface again. “Every time you launch Steam you can explore through your queue and feel like you’ve gotten a good idea of products that may be interesting to you.” “There is only a limited number of items in each queue to give a clear accomplishable goal,” writes Valve. Here’s The Long Dark, sitting in my Queue. In less personalized sections of the store (such as the New Releases tab) games you already own show up with a big “In Library” banner. Valve claims the list is “nearly endless.”Ĭounter-Strike involves strategy, yes, but I’m not sure that’s what the genre means nor why I need three different versions…Īnd the best feature of all? Steam now tracks which games you own, so it’ll stop recommending you buy Portal 2 when it’s sitting right there in your library. Some of the suggestions are still a bit janky, such as when Steam recommended I buy three different versions of Counter-Strike because I like “Strategy Games,” but those kinks will undoubtedly get worked out. This is where Steam now keeps its personalized recommendations, based on games in your wishlist, games you play a lot, games your friends play, and even games you only viewed in the store. When you get to the “bottom” of the homepage-you know, the block of legalese that typically signifies “stop scrolling”-ignore it and keep on heading down.

The results aren’t always perfect, but it’s a huge step up from the borderline-useless search feature before. Want to search for games with Oculus Rift support? You can do that too.

Want to search for co-op games? You can do that. Search has been upgraded to take advantage of the massive database of user-sourced Steam Tags. You can now customize what sort of content you see in the “Featured” box.
