For players that speak Indonesian, Slovak, Malay, Arabic, Hebrew, Serbian, Hindi, and any other language currently supported by Windows, it's now possible to easily find the games that are available in your language. You can now pick from a much expanded list when indicating your language preferences on Steam, and when searching for games.


(Edit your language preferences here)
Setting your Steam language preferences will impact what languages content appears in and make it more likely that games in these languages are recommended to you and appear in discovery features across the Steam store. Your languages will also appear more prominently in search and on game store pages.

You can select a primary language and any number of secondary languages.

• Primary Language will determine what language the Steam user interface is presented in, along with content across the Steam store and community such as game descriptions and user generated content.
  
• Secondary Languages will allow you to see content in these languages such as store page descriptions and user reviews if not available in your primary language.
  
• Additional Game Content Languages are not supported for Steam UI, store page descriptions, or user content, but will help you find games with content available in your languages.

Your language preferences impact the information that is available at a glance on game store pages and in the various filter options throughout Steam.

Game Store Pages: Your selected languages will automatically appear first on game store pages if that game supports the language. Additionally, if you are looking at a game that doesn’t support any of your selected languages, there will be a prominent note communicating that fact.

Search & Filters: Your selected languages will appear first as options to use in areas of Steam that offer filtering. This means you can quickly select one or more language to find just the games that are available in those languages if you wish. As an example, here is a search for games that support Indonesian language: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category1=998&supportedlang=indonesian



Games available in your languages are more likely to appear in discovery features such as the Steam Discovery Queue and in recommendations on the homepage of Steam.


Starting a few weeks ago, we made it possible for developers to tag their games with this expanded set of languages. In the time since, we've seen over 500 games add indication of support for one of these new languages.

Of course this is just the beginning, as more developers make use of these new tools to indicate support that may already be available in games, as well as when releasing new games.

You can edit your language preferences here and search for games by language by visiting the store search page and selecting languages from the right-hand set of filters.

We are preparing to update Big Picture mode with the new interface we designed for Steam Deck, and today we’re making it available for testing. This update has been a long time coming, and we’re very excited to start gathering community feedback.



This controller-first interface was designed for Steam Deck in handheld and docked mode, and is perfect for all the scenarios Big Picture mode currently handles. The updated Big Picture mode includes features like:

• New Home Screen, where you can continue playing recent games, and see what’s new with the games in your library.
  
• New Universal Search, that searches across Library, Store, and your friends
  
• New controller configurator, designed for ease-of-use of picking, adjusting, or creating custom controller configurations
  
• Optimized Steam Store for controller navigation
  
• Updated in-game overlay, with access to achievements and guides
  • Press Steam / Guide / PS button while in game
• New system menu, for quick navigation to different parts of the interface
  • Access this with the Steam / Guide / PS button
• New quick access menu, for access to notifications, friends list, quick settings, and more.
  • Access this with Steam / Guide / PS button + A

The team is still polishing rough edges - but the interface is at a point where we’re ready to gather community feedback. If you’d like to help test, please:

• Opt into the Steam Client beta
  
• Edit your Steam launch shortcut with the following launch parameter: -gamepadui
  
  

If you’re up for helping us test the updated Big Picture, please provide feedback at the Big Picture forums. Thank you!

Continuing our monthly series, we're happy to unveil Steam's Top Releases for the month of September. As always, we look at every release for the month, highlighting the Top 20 games and Top 5 DLC releases based on their 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 September 2022

With the Steam Scream Fest underway, Steam is currently haunted with ghastly updates and spooky characters of all kinds. If that's all a bit too frightening, we're happy to showcase September's Top Releases, which provided a wholesome amount games with cozy, colorful and cute themes. After a successful journey through Early Access, Temtem made its 1.0 debut with an abundance of colorful characters and comfy fun for everyone. Filling the Early Access void, Slime Rancher 2 arrived five years after Monomi Park introduced fans to this revolutionarily cute slime-wrangling universe. Check out the full cast of cozy content on this month's Top Releases.

For several months now, we've featured the Top DLC releases with each month's latest list. September brought something unprecedented in this category, as each of the Top DLCs for the month were published by Paradox Interactive. It's amazing to see games from 2013 (Europa Universalis IV) and 2015 (Cities: Skylines) continuing to release popular content all these years later. Paradox's domination of September's Top DLC releases dovetailed nicely with their triumphant in-person return to the annual PDXCON in Stockholm.

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.

Library

• Added a section to display a rollup of new DLC and other game content that has been released since you last visited a game's library page. Once visible, this section will automatically hide after a short period of time.
  
• Rebuilt how featured game news is displayed on library game pages. It is now displayed as a featured post at the top of the activity feed to improve readability and reduce the required work for game devs. The entry is shown for a short period of time before returning to its chronological spot in the activity feed.
  
• Updated the presentation of the new DLC added to your account section on library game pages.
  
• Changed how major updates are displayed in the library activity section to make them easier to find.
