Steam has cracked the code on the most challenging genre name in gaming.

On Monday, Valve revealed that its PC storefront has received a significant update with the introduction of new game tags after a two-year hiatus. A total of 17 new tags—essentially more specific genre labels—have been added to Steam, while nearly twice that number have been removed. These updates reflect current industry trends, showcasing what’s gaining traction and what’s losing relevance. Notably, one of the new tags is likely to clarify ongoing discussions about a particular game category.

Since its explosive rise in 2021, *Vampire Survivors* has set off a wave of similar action roguelites, including officially licensed titles like *Warhammer Survivors*. These games are characterized by chaotic gameplay, where players gather a plethora of quirky upgrades while the screen fills with enemies. Until now, many have referred to these titles with cumbersome terms like “Vampire Survivor-likes” or “survivor-like,” akin to how games like *Rogue*, *Metroid*, and *Dark Souls* have come to define their own genres.

Valve has opted for a more streamlined term: “Bullet Heaven.” They describe this genre as “the opposite of Bullet Hell; focus on upgrades while automatically attacking hordes of enemies.” While Valve didn’t coin the term, it’s a clever way to label the genre without leaning on a specific brand.

Other interesting new tags include Desktop Companion (games that provide company while multitasking), Wuxia, Xianxia, and… Capybaras? The tag humorously notes, “The largest and possibly most adorable rodent species,” highlighting the abundance of capybara-themed games on Steam.

Additionally, a curious mix of tags like Cleaning, Organizing, and Decorating has been introduced. While there’s likely some overlap among these genres, each offers a unique experience. For instance, you wouldn’t play *PowerWash Simulator* for the same reasons you’d dive into a game focused on cataloging your extensive Steam library.

Valve has also removed 27 tags, which may seem significant until you consider their nature. Tags like “America,” “Illuminati,” and “Masterpiece” likely complicate rather than clarify the gaming experience. The goal of the Steam tagging system is to help players discover games they’ll enjoy. However, the removal of tags like “Lego” and “Games Workshop” might raise some eyebrows, though many of the deletions seem aimed at eliminating redundant brand names.

Furthermore, Steam has updated several existing tags to better align with game content. For example, “Clicker” has been rebranded as “Incremental” to encompass a wider range of games focused on numerical progression, as explained by Valve.

While Valve remains tight-lipped about pricing, recent developments have given fans plenty of reasons to feel optimistic.
