- Recommendations draw on similar users’ play and wishlist activity.

## Summary

Valve has moved Steam’s Personal Calendar out of Steam Labs and made it a full feature of the Steam Store. It recommends upcoming and recently released games, giving users another way to discover titles suited to their interests.

The system uses recently played games to find people with similar playtime patterns, then draws on games those users have wishlisted or played. Recommendations refresh daily, and the calendar covers an eight-week period, changing as new games appear or release dates are confirmed. The launch is part of a broader set of changes making Steam’s homepage more algorithm-driven.
