Steam has quietly added a new feature that helps you keep track of your wishlisted games

I was just browsing Steam and noticed a really neat little feature they quietly added to the wishlist! It’s easy to overlook, but it’s super helpful. People were actually talking on Reddit just this week about wishlist improvements, and this wasn’t even on anyone’s radar! Now, Steam shows you a simple calendar right in your wishlist, so you can easily see when the games you’ve saved are coming out, or if they’ve already been released. It’s a great way to stay organized and not miss a launch!

Steam added a helpful new feature to wishlists to help you keep track of your games

Steam wishlists are a valuable resource for video game developers. While not foolproof, they give developers an idea of how much interest there is in their game. A high number of wishlists can also help studios attract funding or find a publisher. Essentially, the more people who wishlist a game, the better, as Steam automatically notifies them when the game launches, a demo is available, or it goes on sale. That’s why many trailers, particularly for games made by smaller teams, end with a request to add the game to your wishlist – it’s a simple and effective way to support indie developers.

Let’s talk about this new feature and how to access it. It’s a little hidden, actually! Don’t look in your Steam wishlist. Instead, go to the Steam Store and find the ‘Recommendations’ tab at the top. Click on it, then select ‘Your Personal Calendar’ from the menu that appears. That will take you to the new feature page.

This calendar combines games you’ve added to your Steam wishlist with suggestions Steam thinks you’ll like, based on your gaming tastes. You can customize it to show only wishlist games or only Steam’s recommendations. It’s divided into sections for recently released games (past month and week) and games coming soon. The main idea is to help you stay informed about new releases, so you don’t miss out on any games – especially smaller ones that might otherwise get overlooked with so many releases happening all the time.

This section helps you stay informed about upcoming games. It’s particularly useful for smaller titles, as release dates can be easily missed or changed. This way, you won’t lose track of the games you’re excited about.

Overall, this is a really useful tool for players who want to keep track of games they’re interested in. While some users would like to see additional features – such as improved game organization, multiple lists, or filtering by genre and demo availability – the new calendar feature does allow filtering by tags. It’s good to see Valve continuing to work on improving the platform.
