Early Access is the latest place where Steam is restricting games with mature themes

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-23 17:08:06

Valve has apparently updated its Steam Early Access policy to no longer accept games with what the company deems to be "mature themes." As first reported by Gamesmarkt earlier this month, gaming studio Dammitbird, which develops the adult adventure game Heavy Hearts, was not allowed to put the title on Steam Early Access because of its content. Payment processors like Mastercard and Visa have been mounting a pressure campaign on video game marketplaces Steam and Itch.io to remove certain adults

But Nintendo highlighted several indie games in the newsy showcase, too. Hades 2 is arguably the highest-profile n

The consensus is clear. Regular folk and gamers alike couldn’t give a hoot for yet another Meta Quest-like VR headset. Hell, even the “metaverse is the future” company Meta seems more interested in smart glasses than headsets nowadays. That may change if Valve has anything to say about it. Even if you’re not a VR gaming enthusiast, there’s more than one reason you should pay attention to Valve’s long-rumored wireless XR headset.
