Steam says it’s ‘running behind’ when reviewing pre-release games because of how many re-reviews it has to do
Video Games Chronicle • • technology
Key Points:
- Valve is experiencing delays in approving pre-release game builds on Steam, with review times extending up to 12 business days due to a high volume of re-submissions after initial failures.
- Developers must submit their game builds for review before release, a process typically taking 3-5 days, but some indie developers have reported longer waits affecting their release schedules.
- To address delays, Valve has updated its release checklist, requiring developers to run their game through Steam for at least five minutes before submission and verify key elements like redistributables, achievements, Steam Cloud saves, and gameplay screenshots.
- Valve acknowledges the stress caused by extended review times and commits to further improvements in the build review process to streamline approvals.
