Steam is the most popular online video game distribution platform and enjoys the largest market share thanks to famous free games such as Counter Strike : Global Offensive and Dota 2, published by Valve, the same company that owns Steam. Steam also has a large community where people can participate in discussions and share their work, models and other things within Steam Workshop.
At the moment there is a massive winter sale of Steam going on, where players can get games at very reduced prices. To mark the occasion, Valve also released a new steam lab experiment called Experimental Sales, which aims to provide a better web browsing experience.
The Browse Sales option allows players to browse the reduced games by genre and story. Steam explains this feature as shown below.
New ways to watch during the holidays
Every holiday season Steam offers thousands of items at discounted prices. For this year’s Fall Sale, we’ve introduced over a dozen sales pages by genre and theme to make it easier for players to navigate and discover our most popular discount games during the event. We found that these theme pages resulted in more visits to the game store pages during sales than all but one of the Steam stores – the popular game grid at the top of the homepage.
Due to the popularity of these theme pages we have included them in this year’s winter sales and have also added a number of smarties so we can list them based on their likely relevance to you.
Genres, themes, functions and others
Once you’re on one of these sites during a winter sale, like. B. This page with the most popular cooperative games of winter, you will discover many ways to browse through the hundreds of games it contains. Tabs provide subgenres, themes or other tags that are common to the hundreds of games on each page. Some parts of these pages also contain titles that in some cases all have a common theme, such as B. Display, Player Support or Additional Themes. And because there are so many great games on each of these sites, we also introduced faceted navigation.
The facets of navigation: Search during search
Faceted Search lets you tell Steam what you’re looking for as you browse and quickly filter titles by various axes such as visual style, theme, mood, player support, and more. Concepts can be selected from categories to be used as quick OK searches. Concepts can be selected from categories to be used as quick OK searches.
