Steam Is Tweaking Reviews To Make Them More Relevant
Briefly

Steam is implementing a change to reflect cultural differences in game reviews by displaying separate review scores for users based on their selected language. When a game has enough reviews in a specific language, Steam will show a score for that language alongside overall metrics. This feature aims to provide gamers with insights that align with their cultural perceptions while ensuring that scores are based on substantial review data. The change applies to games with over 2,000 reviews and requires at least two reviews in the specific language.
Valve announced that Steam will begin displaying separate review scores for games based on the user's selected language, provided that enough scores exist in that language.
The change aims to reflect cultural differences in game reception by allowing users to see how a game is rated in their primary language compared to others.
Steam will implement the language-specific review score for games with over 2,000 reviews and at least two reviews in one language to ensure reliability.
Valve assures users that the intention is not to manipulate scores but to enhance the information available based on language preferences, while still displaying overall scores.
