Steam Year in Review 2023 is live — here’s how to see your Steam Replay

Steam introduced Steam Replay last year for the first time, and it’s back again for 2023. As we close out the year, you get a chance to look back at a bunch of stats for 2023, similar to Xbox Year in Review and PlayStation Wrap-Up. Here, we will show you how to see your Steam Year in Review for 2023.

The wrap-up includes a ton of detail, from what games you’ve played to how many achievements you’ve unlocked. Steam Year in Review is only live for a limited time, but you can download and share your review while it’s running, as well as add it to your Steam profile so you can see it throughout the next year.

Similar to last year, you’ll automatically receive a badge for viewing your Steam Year in Review. Valve doesn’t tell you that there’s a badge, but you’ll see it pop up in your inventory after checking out your Year in Review alongside your other badges.

If you use Steam a lot, these badges are a big deal. They contribute to the XP of your profile and increase your XP levels in your Steam profile. Thankfully, you don’t need to do anything special for this badge. Just check out your Year in Review, and you’ll get it automatically.

By default, your Steam Year in Review 2023 is private. Only you can see it. At the top of the page, however, you can change the privacy settings to Friends only or Public. Doing so will allow you to copy and share a link to your review by using the Share button. You can also share your review on your Steam activity feed on this page.

Valve also offers three quick mock-ups for sharing on other platforms — a square format for Instagram feeds, a tall format for Snapchat and TikTok, and a wide format for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. To use these, click the Share button at the top of your review and select the format you want. Then, select Save image. You can change the language of these mockups at the top of the page, as well.

Finally, you can add your Year in Review to your Steam profile as a featured showcase. To do so, click the Share button and select Add profile showcase. Note, you can’t add a showcase or copy a link to your review if it’s set to private.

Careful — the new Jackbox game is corrupting Steam Decks

The Steam Deck is easily the best handheld gaming PC you can buy, but a new game that launched with native Linux support for the Steam Deck is corrupting some devices. The Jackbox Megapicker, a free launcher for Jackbox party games, is corrupting the installation on SteamOS on the Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED, according to multiple sources.

GamingOnLinux first reported the story, which has been confirmed by both the developers and Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais, following user reports of corrupted installations on Reddit and Discord a few days ago. After installing the game, the Steam Deck would refuse to load. It doesn't completely ruin the device, but if you install The Jackbox Megapicker, you'll be forced to reinstall SteamOS from scratch. That includes creating your own recovery media with Valve's SteamOS image and completely wiping all data from the device.

Your Steam demos are about to get much more organized
A bunch of steam demos listed on the Steam Demos page.

Steam is implementing changes to how demos work on the platform, which will not only help developers with getting their games discovered but makes the experience better for users.

The biggest change, according to a post on Steam, is that demos are easier to both find, install, and remove from your library. You don't have to immediately install the demo to add it to your library, and if you want to remove it, all you have to do is right-click on the game and select "remove from account" or just uninstall it. You can also install one even if you own the game.

My Steam library (probably) looks better than yours
A Steam library filled with custom artwork.

I don't mean to brag, but my Steam library is looking pretty good these days. No, it's not the number of games I own, my Steam level showing how much money I've throw into the digital void, or a string of Counter-Strike 2 skins that I hold like securities. My Steam library looks good because I spent just a little bit of time tweaking the artwork for games that I have installed.

You might already know that Steam allows you to set custom artwork for your games. Hover over any game in your library, right-click, and follow Manage > Set custom artwork to apply just about anything to the grid, hero, and icon images of your Steam library. Even with a few dozen games -- most PC gamers I know have a library in the hundreds -- it could take you hours doing this for every game in your library as you hunt down artwork, organize it on your PC, and set it within Steam.
