Getting an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam is a significant milestone that can boost discoverability and game sales, but how do you get that coveted label?

When you release a game on Steam, it’s really important to get 10 reviews as fast as possible. This will unlock a visible label for your game which doesn’t only look cool, but will also boost your discoverability in Steam. So share the word with your community and make sure to ask them for a review! Keep in mind: they have to purchase your game on Steam to make the review count towards the threshold.

But you’re not settling for just ‘Positive’ right? You want your game to be ‘Very positive’ or even the almighty ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ (cue angel sound effect).
