Scroll down those same pages and you’ll find other new additions. There’s now a shelf showing recent & upcoming events, letting you see news and updates for the games within that category. Games from your wishlist are also listed, and the full list of that category’s games found at the bottom can now be filtered using the tools introduced in a previous experiment. That includes the ability to filter games based on features and tags.

Not every Steam Lab Experiment has been adopted into a permanent feature, but some have, incrementally making it easier to find games within Steam’s growing library. Experiment 13 isn’t a huge change, but it’s a set of sensible additions that make it a little easier to see what’s new with a particular type of game. You canread a few more details about the experiment on the Steam blog.
