Steam Improves Categorization of Adult-only Content

A good search engine, a good categorization and an algorithm that is capable of effectively recommending new content is what any digital store should offer today. That is why Steam does not stop experimenting with new options and in its latest experiment they include new tools that will allow you to filter the content much better. So much so that if you are looking only for adult content, it is now easier to find it.

Steam Improves Categorization

Valve and his Experiment 010

The catalog of games available on Steam is extremely wide and that is very positive for you as a user, but we also recognize that sometimes it can be torture not being clear about what we can find inside. That is why Steam has published a new experiment that directly seeks to solve that feeling of being lost within an immense catalog.

How it does it is quite simple: with new tools that allow you to categorize and filter what is going to be shown to you. That is the basis of the Steam Experiment 010 and with which they offer two new ways to explore all the content:

  • New and featured is the first choice. Here, how you can imagine what you will have is a list of new content that has been published in the store recently or that has become popular with the user community. A recommendation section based on the global preferences of all the users that make up the platform and that will also serve to give direct access to festival-type events, publisher offers, etc.

  • Categories is the same option that already existed before, but improved with new options that in turn are completed with the use of filter labels. Combining all this you will not only have direct access to sub-genres much better categorized within genres such as Action, Simulation, Derpotes, etc., but also the possibility of establishing the one that shows only adult content, that show nudity or even sexual content

In other words, what Steam is offering with this new Experiment is greater control when conducting searches and allowing the discovery of new content that, just as before, would have gone unnoticed among so many as they shape its entire catalog.

How to access the new Explore Store experiment

Access to this Steam Experiment 010 is free for any user of the platform who wants to see what it offers or, rather, how they can take advantage of it to discover new content that they did not know was available and could be interesting.

If you are interested in trying, all you have to do is click on this link . Once you have done it, you will see that the interface of the Steam store has changed slightly. Basically what it is about is a subtle change in the top bar where you can now see the new New and Featured sections and Categories, which show + symbols as stars to highlight that they are new items.

Once inside you will see all this that we discussed and in the column on the right side the Filter by label tool that will allow you to further narrow the content based on interests or what you are looking for. With this plus the use of the Adult Content tag that they have been using for a while, but did not advertise much, it is now easier to find that material for people over 18 that is available. As long as it is something you have active in the store preferences.

The latter of activating whether or not the adult content appears is something that you can manage from the Steam preferences. You access and you can mark or unmark the ones you think are appropriate depending on what you want or not to find.
