đź”— Abandoned 'Early Access' games on Steam will now show a warning

Steam will now flag neglected titles if they haven't been updated.

The Steam store will now warn users if an early access title has not received any recent updates — potentially saving players from buying an abandoned, incomplete game.

This change, as seen by SteamDB, will apply a warning to neglected games if they've not seen any updates in several months. It appears early access titles that have not seen any updates or changes in over a year will get this new notice applied.

A helpful addition I'd say.

Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 🕵️ Tip: SteamDB browser extension shows last update for all games.
