Deviants, rejoice! After 20 years of limited privacy settings, Valve appears to be rolling out a new feature that will allow Steam users to hide what games they play.
SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, a noted Steam data miner, was the first to discover the reported update, and took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a photo of what the process of hiding a game looks like.

According to Djundik’s post, once a user marks a game as private, it will be hidden from their friends, thus permitting them to play Koikatsu Party to their heart’s content and far away from prying eyes. That said, this feature isn’t limited to games with, ahem, adult themes. For those ashamed of just how much time they poured into Dota 2 or Baldur’s Gate 3, hiding your hours spent playing will soon be a few clicks away.
