The Steam Spring Cleaning Event Has Begun!
Steam News - christen


Has the time ever felt more right to take stock and enjoy what’s sitting right on your shelf?

The Spring Cleaning Event is designed to help! DEWEY Decimal, the Smart Home Librarian, is here to suggest fun new ways to dust off and dig into your Steam Library collection of games.

Alongside DEWEY, this year’s clean sweep includes new challenges like Play Next (recommendations from your Library based on your play history), and Remote Play Together (recommendations from your Library you can share online with your friends).

For players who’ve yet to build a Library of their own, DEWEY even recommends free titles to help you make the most of Steam, now through May 28th at 10am PDT.

So get to work, Spring Cleaners – Let’s dust off those unplayed games!

Experiment 008: Play Next joins Steam Library
Steam News - Alden
Earlier this year, Experiment 008: Play Next entered the Steam Labs for testing. Using machine learning to make informed suggestions, the feature is designed to help users with extensive libraries decide which of their games to play next.

Based on positive feedback from customers, Play Next has proved successful enough to graduate from the Lab. With today's Steam Client update, that functionality is now integrated into the Steam Library.

Users who have unplayed (or very low playtime) games in their library, will now have a Play Next shelf available in the library view.
