Steam Adds Adults Only Filter for Games with Sexual Content

Valave has added a brand new filter to Steam, one that will apply to games that feature explicit sexual content, in a brand new update.

This Adults Only filter will ensure users won’t see a game featuring “explicit sexual content” when browsing through the store, blurring the listing if it warrants such filtering.

“We did our best to ensure you can safely ignore swaths of games in the store, but still find them if you look directly via the search tool,” said Valve. “If the game that we think you’re searching for is hidden due to your mature content settings, we identify that and let you know in a safe way.”

Additionally, a general Mature Content filter has also been added, and Valve will now require developers of games with violent or sexual content to describe the content which will aid in their new filtering system.
