This is a quality-of-life suggestion that I think a lot of profile-conscious Steam users would appreciate.
Right now, the Favourite Game showcase is static, only allows one game per showcase and is somewhat manual. You pick your games, and that’s it — it never changes unless your top game changes based on your sort order or you go back and move things around yourself. But your actual library already sorts your favourite games automatically by playtime, recently played, alphabetical, and more. That logic is already built into Steam. The showcase just doesn’t know about it.
Here’s what I think the new favourite games showcase should actually look like:
🔹 Your profile displays your top 6 favourite games — sorted by whatever rule you set in your library (most played, recently played, alphabetical, reviews or manual)
🔹 Below or alongside those 6 tiles, it shows a total count — something like "Favourites: 10" — so visitors know there’s more
🔹 Clicking through opens the full list of all your favourite games, similar to how clicking a Steam Replay card lets you scroll through all your stats
🔹 The sort rule is set once in your showcase settings and updates automatically from that point forward — completely set and forget
It doesn’t matter how many favourites you have. The showcase always shows your top 6 based on your chosen sort order, with the full list one click away for anyone curious.
This solves a real frustration: your showcase is supposed to represent how you actually play, but the moment your hours shift, or you pick up a new game, it’s already out of date. Auto-sorting fixes that permanently. And I hate having to constantly mess with my profile, it's not a major problem, but somewhat annoying to constantly do.
The data is already there. The sorting already exists in the library. This is a UI connection, not a rebuild from scratch. It really does feel like low-hanging fruit. The current favourite game showcase are nothing more than clutter. I've attached examples of what I mean.
