Steam’s early access program lets developers get games into the hands of gamers ahead of an official launch. The program has helped titles like Hades and Baldur’s Gate 3, launching them early and gaining gamers’ opinions before they are officially released. However, not every early access title is as successful as those titles; in fact, most aren’t, and some never make it out of development hell.
Now, Steam warns users when they visit an early-access game page if the developer hasn’t recently released an update in a while. Valve, the company behind Steam, hasn’t officially made the announcement, but it was pointed out by SteamDB and then corroborated by Eurogamer and PC Gamer.
Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.
🕵️ Tip: SteamDB browser extension shows last update for all games.
