Steam users will soon be able to buy and play all the hentai and porno games they want on Valve’s service without anyone noticing.
As shared by Pavel Djundik, the guy behind SteamDB, Valve is working on a feature that will allow Steam users to mark any game as private, preventing them from being seen by anyone on their friend’s list, and, presumably, anyone else who is nosy enough to visit their profile.
“Steam is working on allowing you to mark a game as private and hide it from your friends,” Djundik explained in a tweet dated yesterday.

Gabe, who may or may not have a ton of hentai games installed himself, hasn’t commented on the feature yet, but everyone seems to be convinced that the decision stems from Steam’s increasing amount of adult-themed games.
These would include Night Stroll, a new hentai game that can currently be found on the platform’s “Popular Upcoming” listing, featuring an ordinary girl named “Suzuki Rika” who, according to screenshots, gets naked a lot.
Here’s what the developer, SUPERBAD, had to say about its content, as if the NSFW screenshots weren’t enough:
“Night Stroll” contains sexual acts, nudity, exhibitionism, non-consensual sex, rape, etc. and is not suitable for all ages. The characters in the story are over 20 years old.
Of course, Steam’s new “Mark as Private” feature can also be used for any other game, although it’s unclear why anyone would want to hide their playtime for Starfield and Diablo IV.
