Valve is introducing a new privacy feature on Steam that allows users to hide specific games from their friends. This feature, which is expected to be implemented soon, will give gamers the option to mark a game as private, keeping it hidden from prying eyes.
While details on how exactly this feature will work are still scarce, it appears that users will have the ability to make any game private, not just the more questionable titles. So whether you’re playing a suspect indie anime game or a highly anticipated release like Starfield, you can now keep it under wraps.
No official release date has been announced by Valve, but the community is eagerly anticipating this new addition to the platform. Many gamers are excited about the prospect of being able to enjoy their favorite games without worrying about judgment or embarrassment from their friends.
Currently, Steam users have the option to set their account status to invisible while playing, but this only hides their online activity and not the games they own. With the upcoming privacy feature, users will have true incognito mode, allowing them to hide both their current gameplay and their entire game library.
This feature will be particularly useful for those who want to keep their competitive gaming achievements private or simply prefer to keep their gaming habits to themselves. It’s a way to enjoy gaming without feeling self-conscious or judged by others.
However, it’s important to note that this privacy feature only applies to your Steam profile. If someone happens to see your game collection while visiting your home, Valve can’t help with that.
