Valve has introduced new privacy features for Steam users, enhancing control over game libraries. Players can now mark their Steam games as "private," making them invisible to the public and friends, safeguarding playtime stats and achievements. Alongside privacy updates, the Steam shopping cart has been revamped, allowing users to buy multiple copies of a game as gifts and sync the cart across devices. The article also addresses concerns about the Steam Deck, advising users not to inhale vapors emitted from the device due to potential health risks.

How can I mark a game as private on Steam?

To mark a game as private on Steam, locate the game in your library, select the 'Privacy Settings' option, and choose the 'Private' visibility setting. This will hide the game, its playtime, and achievements from others.

Steam is a digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation. It's widely recognized for its extensive video game library, frequent sales, and community features. Steam Deck, mentioned in the news, is Valve's portable PC gaming device, released to compete with handheld gaming consoles by providing the power of a gaming PC in a portable form factor. In the context of this news, privacy concerns and the health advisory highlight Valve's ongoing efforts to respond to user feedback and improve their products and services.
