Steam’s Personal Calendar will help players discover new and upcoming games through a schedule of upcoming releases and personalized recommendations.
Personal Calendar is a store feature that will be available as a Steam Labs experiment. This will allow the company to gather feedback and make more improvements to this tool. It will show players not just recently released games but also upcoming games, and it has been filtered down to a collection that Steam believes the player is most likely to be interested in.
How Does Steam’s Personal Calendar Work?
Explained in a new blog post, this new Steam tool will find players with similar playtime to the user and then look at the games they have been adding to their wishlists. The system will also look at the games the player plays the most (relative to other players) and spend most of their playtime in. Which means that the games and demos players put in for a few minutes won’t be recorded; only those they sink their teeth into will matter.
Steam’s Personal Calendar system will be retrained daily to incorporate the latest data. It has a new calendar view that lists soon-to-release titles, filters them to the set we recommend most for you, and maps them across time so you can see them at a glance. This view will also include the player’s wishlisted games. However, the Calendar is weekdays-only, since very few games are released on weekends, and they needed as much space as possible to show upcoming games.
There are some customisation controls, including the ability to filter by tag and adjust the number of results. Also, the page will filter games based on your store content preferences, such as Early Access titles, ignored products, ignored tags, and the general level of mature content.
