Steam Early Access game pages are starting to warn players if they’ve been abandoned

by

It seems that Steam is gradually making adjustments to its approach when it comes to communication about early access games on its platform. A fresh announcement has popped up on the Steam pages of certain early access titles. If these games haven’t seen updates for quite a while, giving off an abandoned feel, there will now be a noticeable notification on their respective Steam page. However, it is important to note that this system hasn’t been implemented across all games just yet, and it may expand further in the future.

SteamDB’s social media platforms picked up on Steam’s recent updates regarding notifications for early access games that haven’t been updated in over a year. This new system appears to inform potential players or current owners about such games. For instance, on titles like Realm Royale Reforged, you might now see a message indicating the game has been inactive for over a year.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but mention that not all games have adopted this new system across the board just yet. For instance, games like Kerbal Space Program 2 haven’t received updates in quite some time now. In fact, the studio behind it, Intercept Games (under Private Division), has ceased operations, but there’s no notice about its stagnation on its Steam page as of now.

Regardless of the situation, open communication is key. It’s encouraging to learn about Steam’s novel approach, which aims to assist gamers in making wiser choices when it comes to early access games that could potentially miss the full Version 1.0 release.
