Steam has added a brand new warning to the Steam pages of early-access video games that haven’t been up to date in a very long time.
SteamDB spotted this addition to the early-access widget on Steam pages. Steam has traditionally denoted that early entry video games “will not be full and will or might not change additional,” but it surely’s now getting extra particular as to when a recreation was beforehand up to date, no matter what the builders wrote of their early entry widget. Particularly, it appears to kick in if the publicly accessible construct of an early-access title has not seen an replace in over 12 months.
Take Atlas, a pirate open-world recreation from the identical writer as Ark: Survival Ascended that was launched in early entry in 2018 however has not gotten an replace since Could 2023. A message on its Steam page now reads, “Observe: The final replace made by the builders was over 20 months in the past. The data and timeline described by the builders right here might now not be updated.” Related messages will be discovered on the Steam pages for video games like Pirate Software program’s Heartbound, Hello-Rez Studios’ Realm Royale Reforged, and League of Geeks’ Jumplight Odyssey.
Though Steam cannot power builders to replace their video games or carry them out of early entry, this warning at the very least offers potential patrons a transparent warning that the sport they’re about to buy hasn’t been supported shortly. You’ll be able to test the Steam Information web page of any early-access title or SteamDB to see when a recreation was up to date final.
