Steam Scream V is on until Nov 2. Spooky games crowd the store this week, so the quieter weeks after it are worth a look.

Alerts & briefings

What is the rival briefing and how often does it come?

One tidy email with every rival move set to "In the briefing": weekly on Mondays on Free, every morning or weekly on paid plans.

The briefing gathers every rival move set to "In the briefing" into one tidy email, so you catch up in a minute.

  • Free: a weekly briefing on Mondays.
  • Indie and Studio: choose every morning or Mondays.
  • Never: switch it off whenever you like.

No news, no email: if your rivals were quiet, we do not send an empty briefing. It also tells you what is coming up on Steam, such as Next Fest and the big sales.

To change it, open Notifications or the Your briefing box on the Alerts page.

Tip: on a paid plan, keep big moves like release dates on Right away and let the rest wait for your morning briefing.
