Steam, the world’s largest digital game platform, aims to further increase the user experience with the updates it has released. Valve tackled a situation that many users were uncomfortable with and brought some innovations to the search infrastructure of the digital game store.
Steam search box will now offer recommendations
Steam was showing only the targeted search while any search was taking place, then recommending similar games. Now the Steam search box focuses on recommendations. From now on, it will offer recommendations of similar content when writing the desired game.
The policy of the recommendations was also clear. When writing a game name, tags, developers and series similar to this game will be recommended. In addition, genre and catalog search can be written. Tags such as “war games, FPS” can be written, as well as searches for “free games”.
In addition, incorrectly spelled game names are automatically corrected and suggested. For example, you accidentally entered a word like “Farza horzon” while writing the game “Forza Horizon”. The store guides you to the right game by going to the closest match.
In addition, the Steam search box suggests not only genres and categories, but also developers. To give an example, when you type “Activision” in the search box, all the games of the publisher appear in order of popularity. Finally, the update was released to the Steam mobile app, PC/Mac app, and website.
