Valve has brought back a number of the biggest sale items from its holiday sale season, offering enormous discounts for some of the most popular AAA and indie titles on the platform. Along with that though, comes a number of changes to the way wishlists work, making it easier to buy titles from the list, easier to sort them, and easier to find that one game you know you wanted but you can't quite remember what it was called.
Called the Steam New Year Lunar Sale, there are daily highlighted deals, but as usual with Steam sales now, all discounts will be at their maximum amount for the entire length of the sale period, which runs from February 15 to 19.
Some of the deals today include 60 percent off the Game of the Year edition of The Witcher III, a $5 price tag on This War of Mine, Left 4Dead 2 priced at $1.50, 15 percent off of the cost of Cuphead, and big discounts on some of Valve's top virtual reality titles for the HTC Vive.
While the sale is all well and good though, the most impactful update with this sale period are the changes being made to Steam's Wishlist. The first and most obvious change is that Wishlist game entries are a lot bigger now. There are names, images and descriptions, alongside the usual pricing information. There are filters too, which let you streamline games you've pegged as interesting into groups of Early Access and full releases. You can even filter them by whether your current Steam account balance can pay for them, as per PCGamesN.
Other filters include certain price thresholds, operating system support and whether they're on sale or not.
How do you guys feel about the changes made to the Steam Wishlist system?
