Steam allows you - and players - to add tags to your game to help with discoverability. Your tags impact where and how your game will appear to potential customers on Steam. Each game must have 5 tags - up to a maximum of 20. While they’re pretty simple and easy to add (there’s even a Tag Wizard to help you), getting the most out of your tags isn’t as straightforward as you might think. In this video we’ll go over the basics of Steam tags, show you why they matter for game discoverability, and finally take a look at Steam tagging tips from some bright minds in the gamedev industry. ► WATCH: Video Game Marketing Roadmap [2020] ►► youtube.com/watch?v=kFqpgqn1dEk► A New Gamedev Video Every Week!
