Valve Teases What's Coming Next With Its Newly Revealed Steam Labs
Valve has announced Steam Labs, a special place where users can test out some of the company's experiments. Before you get too excited, these aren't games – they're works in progress designed to help you find games. At launch, there are three of these little experiments that you can test for yourself.
- Micro Trailers arrange games on a single page by genre, and you can mouse over their thumbnails to see six-second trailers to give you a sense of what they look like in action.
- The Interactive Recommender generates lists of games it thinks you'll like by looking at your most-played games and input via a variety of different sliders.
- The Automated Show compiles the most popular game launches for the day and generates a 30-minute highlight reel.
Valve says these are early looks at features that may or may not stick around, so you may as well give them a shot while you can.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
