Overview

• The feature applies only to titles with more than 2,000 public reviews and at least 200 written in a single language.
• For qualifying games, the displayed score matches the user's primary language, with an option in settings to return to the all-languages rating.
• Valve points to translation quality, cultural references, and network conditions as common drivers of language-by-language differences.
• These thresholds are higher than the 10-review minimum for overall scores to increase confidence in language-specific ratings.
• A revised reviews interface highlights recent feedback in the user’s language and a per-language breakdown, and press reports say the change could clarify region-specific review surges even as Valve avoids citing review-bombing.
