Today's new Steam Labs experiment is a store hub designed to help you find new content to enjoy in the games you already play.

You may have missed or forgotten about exciting add-on content for your favorite games, and this hub is designed to help you explore what is available and find ways of getting more of those great games. Whether it is individual character skins, content packs, new game modes, or huge expansion packs, there is probably something of interest to you.

Check out your personalized DLC hub here: https://store.steampowered.com/dlcforyou

This entire page is personalized around you and filtered down to the games in your library, so you'll need to be signed in to Steam to make use of it. Here are a few key details of this experiment:
  • Most Popular DLC For Your Games - The top-most section is focused on highlighting the most popular DLC for the games in your library. It may be for a game you played yesterday or years ago, but the content being highlighted is selling well right now.
  • The meat of the page is a breakdown of the games you've played recently, or you can switch to see your games by those you've played the most. Either way, we'll show you each game with the set of available content that you don't already have in your library.
    • Recently Played - simply ordered by those games you've played most recently first.
    • Most Played - ordered by the games you've played the most within the past few years. Then once it has shown all of those, it will start showing the games you've played most over past time periods.
Are there other ways you are interested in exploring the available DLC for your games? Please drop us some feedback and let us know.

The excitement of the Steam Winter Sale is almost upon us, but before we jump in we're happy to announce Steam's Top Releases of November. As always, we look at every release for the month, highlighting the Top 20 games and Top 5 DLC releases based on the first two weeks of revenue. We also highlight the top 5 free-to-play games, ranked by the number of unique players they acquired after launch.

The Top Releases of November 2022

Powerful Franchises
As fans celebrated the excitement of this year’s World Cup, Football Manager 2023 smashed its way onto November’s Top Release list. This franchise has steadily become a fixture on Steam with perennial appearances on our Top Release lists, so its comes as no surprise that football fans from around the world put it here once again.

Fatshark returns to the Top Release list with their brand new Warhammer 40,000 installment, Darktide. As they did for years with their Vermintide series, Fatshark showcases how appealing the Warhammer universe can be when combined with a well-designed product. No experience painting miniatures is required to enjoy all the visceral co-op action in this latest Warhammer hit.

Finally, we can’t mention franchises without giving a shout out to Spider-Man and Sonic. Both of these beloved heroes secured their place on this month's Top Release list, all while saving the world yet again.

Deep Stories
The gameplay of a polished Top Release can be so engaging that it’s easy to lose sight of the incredible stories that these games tell. November’s top releases are not only filled with stories that are worth highlighting, they demonstrate how narratives can be integrated with compelling gameplay in a variety of ways. Several of the games this month, including Pentiment and The Devil in Me, shape their narratives around the choices and decisions that players make. The Past Within takes it a step further with a fresh co-op experience that allows friends to experience two sides of the same story from entirely different perspectives.

New Devs
Finally, we'd like to congratulate the teams that are releasing a product on Steam for the very first time. A big welcome and congrats go out to these development teams on their successful Steam debuts.
