SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Launching a game on Steam involves dozens of configuration steps across the Steamworks Partner site, and missing any one of them can delay release or cause day-one failures. This Skill provides a structured pre-release validation checklist so nothing is overlooked before setting a build live. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Comprehensive Launch Checklist: Walks through 11 sections covering store page assets, depot configuration, achievements, cloud saves, Steam Deck compatibility, multiplayer, leaderboards, pricing, and marketing prep. - MCP-Assisted Verification: Uses the Steam MCP server to check live store page data, achievement stats, and player counts against checklist requirements. - Pitfall Guidance: Flags common launch mistakes such as late store page review submission, missing redistributables, and skipping the coming soon period. - Use Case: A developer with App ID 2345678 asks what to check before launch; the Skill fetches store data, flags that only 3 screenshots exist (Valve recommends 5), and produces a prioritized list of remaining action items. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the Steam release checklist for your game by providing your App ID and release type.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prepare my game for release on Steam?▼

Work through a pre-release checklist covering store page assets, depot configuration, achievements, cloud saves, pricing, and marketing. Provide your Steam App ID and the checklist flags incomplete items such as missing screenshots or unsubmitted store page reviews.

What store page assets does Steam require before launch?▼

Steam requires multiple capsule images (header 920x430, main 1232x706, library 600x900, and others), at least 5 gameplay screenshots at 1920x1080 or larger, a trailer, short and detailed descriptions, tags, system requirements, and supported languages.

How long does Valve's store page review take before release?▼

Valve's review process typically takes 2-5 business days for new apps. Submit your store page for review at least 2 weeks before your planned launch date to avoid delays.

Can the checklist verify my live Steam store configuration automatically?▼

Yes, when the Steam MCP server is available it calls tools like steam_getAppDetails and steam_getAchievementStats to verify store page data, achievements, and app visibility without manual checking.

What are common mistakes when launching a game on Steam?▼

Common pitfalls include submitting the store page for review too late, skipping the coming soon period for wishlist collection, missing redistributables like Visual C++ runtimes, shipping the wrong branch build, and launching without a community hub.
