Steam Profile Features Limited Game Releases by Month

Limited games have "Profile Features Limited" flag. Steam automatically enables profile customization features as games reach certain player and sales metrics that give confidence that a reasonable number of customers that are engaged with the game.

Games that do not have these profile customization options do not count towards Game Collector or Achievement Collector totals.

Games that have achieved broad player engagement and some commercial success are eligible to create content that players can use in their Steam Community profile. These include Steam Trading Cards, Badges, Background, and Emoticons. Players on Steam can highlight content from their favorite games in various ways:

• Collect, trade and market Steam Trading Cards.
• Collect, trade, market and display emoticons and backgrounds on their profiles.
• Craft badges to increase Steam XP and display on their profiles.
• Use game emoticons in chat and posts on the Steam Community.
• Include the game in their Game Collector showcase.
• Display in-game items in the "Item Collector" and "Items To Trade" showcases.
• Display game achievements in their Achievement Showcase.

Valve's confidence metric is based on sales and player engagement figures. They do not include data from user reviews, wishlists, total playtime, or any other judgment of the "quality" of the game.

This status does not impact how we promote your game on the store - visibility, search, and discovery options are all independent of the Community profile.
