Summary
Valve rolled out a Steam wishlist update that adds user-made categories, improved search, sharing links and more granular notifications for saved games.
The changes respond to players wishlisting more titles and asking for better ways to manage long lists, with categories applied when adding games and used later as filters.
Steam also widened guest checkout—introduced in 2024 for gift cards and hardware—so non-account holders can now buy any game.
That expansion supports easier gifting through shared wishlist links, direct email delivery and cross-region purchases, broadening how friends and family can send games.
