Ability to view new releases by date (not "New & Trending" and news/update subscription for non-owned games (lemmy.world)

Q1. A few years ago, steam allowed you to sort tag-based releases (e.g. MMORPG) by release date.

But recently they moved to different model. Consider the MMORPG page:

https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/MMORPG/

Now you only have "New & Trending" which does not sort by date:

Q2. Any given steam store page has an option called "View update history":

This data is also provided in your library in the top "What's New" banner:

But this is only for games that you own.

Is there a way to "subscribe" to the update feeds of a set of games; doesn't have to be through steam. An external tools/website would work too.

Cheers!

For question 1, click the search icon to show all steam games then sort by release date and filter by tag https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&tags=1754&supportedlang=english&ndl=1

for question 2, there is a recently updated section somewhere try this link https://store.steampowered.com/updated/all/

Thank you so much!

Perfect solution for Q1!

For Q2, does anyone have any thoughts about filtering all updates either by tag or by a specific game list?

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Found a workaround for Q2.

Steam Store has a tab heading titled "Recently Updated", in it you can find a section called "Recently Updated":

https://store.steampowered.com/news/

This is comparable to your news feed in your library but it also includes news/updates from games that you have on wishlist. Not the most elegant solution, but it does limit the number of items compared to AnarchoNoAdjectives "/updated/all" link.
