Discover your next favorite game. The Steam Discovery Update makes it easier to find exactly what you want when shopping for a new game experience.



In the past nine months, over 1,300 new titles have been added to Steam. We know you can’t play them all, so we’ve updated Steam with new features and functionality to help you discover the best new releases, the classics, and the unique indie gems you might be interested in.



Below you will find more detailed information on all the new ways to explore what’s on Steam and the changes we’ve made. Give it a try, tweak your settings, and – as always – send us your feedback so we can continue to make the experience even better.

Your Discovery Queue

Your Steam Discovery Queue is a powerful, new way of exploring the most popular new releases that you haven’t yet seen. You can quickly browse through games that are suggested for you, and you can choose to follow the game, add it to your Wishlist, purchase it, or indicate that you are not interested. Your Discovery Queue is automatically refreshed each day with new, top-selling releases.

Wishlist, Follow, or Ignore For any product in Steam, including those in your Discovery Queue, you can easily add it to your Wishlist, follow the game’s announcements in your activity feed, or mark it as not interested to exclude it from future recommendations and featured spots.

Or just skip to the next game No matter what action you take on a game (or even if you don’t take one), you can always quickly skip to the next item in your queue to easily explore through the Steam catalog.

Steam Curators





Following a few Steam Curators is another way to discover and learn about new products. Their picks show up on your home page as well as in your community activity feed, where you can comment and rate those recommendations.

Powerful Search and Filtering

Whether you are searching for something specific, or just want to browse the Steam catalog, the updated Steam Search is more powerful than ever. The search auto complete can usually find and suggest the title you are looking for within a few keystrokes, while the search results page adds powerful new filtering controls for narrowing down your results.

Search by name, tag, or description You can always search for specific products by typing the title. But you can also enter tags or terms to search for particular themes, genres, or content. Now you can easily search for your favorite Twin Stick Shooters Rogue-likes , or games featuring Vampires

Filter by tags and features Once you’ve searched for a term, title, or tag, you can further narrow your results with new filters. Narrow your search by tags, Steam features, operating system, and language. Now you can search for that Co-Op Dungeon Crawler with Steam Trading Cards you’ve been looking for.
