Games on Steam Direct?

[MonsterMan65]

I have been unable to find any info here on on the web regarding how find out what games are available on Steam Direct. Is the service still not publically available ?

Thanks all!

there is nothing "available" on Steam Direct. it is for devs to get their games on Steam.

Oh okay thanks. So where do I see games that have been submitted, ala Greenlight?

There is no public submission. If you want to release a game on Steam you pay Valve $100 per game. Valve does a superficial test if the game starts (yes there were cases of missing executables) and off you go.

If you want to keep up with upcoming games, there are a number of online gaming publications you can follow or just follow your favorite developers.

Steam Direct 'directly' bypasses any type of community moderation, and for the most part any sort of official QA team as well as far as I know.

Pay the fee = Sell on the storefront, it's that simple.

It could be pretty hard to get your game on Steam legitimately through the old greenlight process so many devs were making under the table shady deals like keys for upvotes so something like this had to be done.

Whether this is a good or bad thing in the end remains to be seen I suppose.

Okay, thanks everyone. I was hoping the Steam Direct would at least allow potential buyers to view any games approved.

It does. In the announcement it said you have to have a Steam page for at least a few weeks so users can point out problematic content Valve's staff might miss.
You just have to check the upcoming games.
