Steam has changed the official tags you’ll find attached to games on Valve’s digital storefront.<\/p>\n

Removing 28, adding 17, and merging and updating “a handful of other” tags, Valve said the changes come “with the goal of helping players identify the games that best fit their interests, and helping Steam generate more appropriate recommendations.”<\/p>\n

“Tags help developers better describe their game to players, but also help Steam understand what kind of game it is and show it accordingly to players via recommendations,” the company wrote on a blog<\/u><\/a> post. “Tags are also the foundation upon which each of the store hubs are built, allowing players to find all of the games tagged with their favorite genre, theme, style, or other relevant context.<\/p>\n

“Tags can be applied to a game by the developer, by players with non-limited accounts, and also by Steam moderators. This means that a game’s tags can shift over time as more customers play the game and contribute their perspective on what tags are most relevant for each game. Over time, the types of games that exist and the way customers look at games changes too \u2014 so today, we have a list of changes to our current set of tags.”<\/p>\n
