Valve announces changes to Steam's review process, as a surge in game submissions pushes review times to "up to 12 business days", instead of the usual 3-5 days (Jay Peters/The Verge)
Valve admits that it's now taking ‘up to 12 business days’ to game submissions.
Valve has announced changes to its Steam review process due to a significant surge in game submissions. In a recent post, Valve acknowledged that it now takes "up to 12 business days" to review games, up from the usual "3-5 days". This delay is largely attributed to the need to re-review games. To address this issue, Valve has implemented several changes to the release checklist for developers.
These changes include requiring developers to run games through Steam for a minimum of five minutes, ensuring achievements are ready, and confirming required common redistributables such as DirectX or Visual C++. Valve also stated that they will continue to make improvements to the build review process.
