Steam major update rolls out with feature we’ve been begging for

The Steam digital store arrived over 20 years ago on PC in 2003 and set the precedent for how digital video games would be delivered with ease going forward.

Since that time, theSteamplatform has pretty much nailed down the quality of its service whether it be buying video games and DLC onPCor delivering the next much-needed patch. However, there is always room for improvement and the latest update for the Steam platform brings new features that its customers have been begging for.

Check out the Steam Deck trailer below!

Recently, a beta update has been taking place for select Steam users and now, that update is ready to roll out for everyone else. The update will allow you to mark games of your choice as private, meaning that others cannot see those risqué games. What’s more, you can also specifically make multiplayer games hidden to avoid a flurry of invites. For example, I often receive random invites from my friends list to playFortniteandCall of Duty: Warzone, so if you want a few hours of peace, that’s a nice option to have.

Elsewhere, you can now gift games to multiple Steam users at once if you’re feeling extra generous as well as making your cart visible from any device. Speaking of purchases, the update will also allow you to make pre-orders hidden on your profile too.

On the topic of making games private, the blog post continues: “Steam has long supported multiple levels of privacy for your Steam profile and your entire games list. However, there are times when you might want to keep a few of the games you own off those lists."
