Overview

• The new display shows the average from a user's selected language by default for titles with more than 2,000 public reviews, with the all-languages score still accessible further down the page.
• Palworld now appears as Overwhelmingly Positive for English reviews, and Pocketpair’s John “Bucky” Buckley said the game is in the low 90s in most languages but higher in English.
• Wuchang: Fallen Feathers displays about 69% from English reviews versus roughly 50% across all languages, while Balatro saw a smaller uplift and Mortal Kombat 1 dipped slightly in English-only scoring.
• Reporters note the change could encourage users to post in specific languages to influence what more shoppers see, raising questions about how visible scores might be steered.
• Coverage cites Logrus IT data suggesting English represents about 37.7% of Steam users, helping explain why English-language averages can dominate the default view, even as large Simplified Chinese volumes affect overall ratings.
