Discovery queue only shows newer games
So at the title says when im going through it I most of the time only see newer games, usually from 2021 or newer. Rarely do I see anything older. Is there anyway I can fix this? Id really like to see older games as well, ya know just properly everything on steam that is available not just new stuff

Difficult to say, as generally speaking newer stuff is going to get priority obviously.

However, you can affect it a bit by just generally viewing and buying older games.

It's not perfect by any stretch, but I've been going through a lot of older games I have on other platforms deliberately to buy copies on PC and it started showing the occasional older game for me.

It is rare though.

I've not found any good way to also just search in the store for purely older games as even the release date only reflects when they were put up on the store and can be misleading.

It's not the discovery queue, but there is a tool you can find from the main store page, in the row "Players lake you love", the "explore and customize" button will take you to a page where you can adjust what games are factored into the recommendation, and the age of them.

Might not be the best, but better than nothing.
