Valve has released the Steam Discovery update 2.0, which is planned to be ‘smarter,’ ‘more informative,’ and brings users a better and more personalized game recommendations.
After two years from the original Discovery update, the time has come for Steam Discovery 2.0, as Valve likes to call it. The update has officially been made available to users, following a latest leak with details about the Steam Store’s new UI. Valve says that the new Steam Store is “smarter” and “more informative,” and now has a Highlights section that will provide explanation as to why a game was recommended (i.e. ‘because you recently browsed these tags’) and who recommended it. The new and upgraded Highlights section also uses “new logic” to suggest games based on the user’s playtime, what their friends recommend, what curators the user follows, and more.
Additional new introductions to Steam include the “recently viewed” list for accessing quickly to games that the user has recently been browsing, “direct links to usual destinations,” a “friends activity” bar (users can see what friends are playing and easily buy the same game), and have the ability to personalize the homepage too (add a game to the wishlist/click ‘not interest’ right from the homepage.)
It also seems that there’s a bigger space for offers, the update games list now is “personalized” to only feature games in the library or on a user’s wishlist and Steam curators’ recommendations and reviews are now available with a “clickable preview.” Even the list of games has been given an overhaul; the top sellers, popular new releases, upcoming and specials lists do not feature games that has found them “not interesting” as well as games that they already own, which will definitely come in handy if they’re one of the millions of people who already have Grand Theft Auto 5.
An extra change that few may notice is that Valve has set guidelines that ask for developers to provide screenshots of content “that a player could realistically experience for themselves in the final game” on their store pages. With a move that some think is inspired by the No Man’s advertising controversy, Valve wants developers to stop using things like concept art, pre-rendered stills, as well as images that contain product descriptions/awards/marketing copy.
