⚡️🎮️ NEW - Steam’s latest redesign has sparked backlash from some indie developers, who say the changes could make it harder for smaller games to get noticed.

The biggest concern is the “Popular Upcoming” page. Developers say the old system gave more upcoming indie games a chance to appear based on release date once they reached a certain number of wishlists.

The new system prioritizes the most anticipated games, meaning titles from larger publishers with huge wishlist numbers are more likely to dominate the page.

Valve says the redesign was based on player feedback and aims to highlight the most anticipated releases in the next month. Players can still sort games by release date.
