#Steam early access

Valve has introduced a new feature on Steam designed to warn users about early access games that may have been left to rot. Steam’s early access program has been a double-edged sword for years. One clear example is Cavern Kings, an early access title that hasn’t seen an update in over eight years. However, for potential buyers, this added transparency should serve as a useful tool in assessing whether an early access game is worth the risk. For gamers, this means taking an extra moment to evaluate an early access title before purchasing. Bethesda has officially released DOOM: The Dark Ages in early access worldwide. Players who purchase the Premium Edition, Premium Upgrade, or Collector’s Bundle can access the game early. Assetto Corsa EVO has officially launched its Early Access phase on Steam, inviting players to experience the next evolution in racing simulation.
