Key new tags include 'Bullet Heaven' (formalizing the Vampire Survivors-like genre), 'Desktop Companion' (games played on the desktop taskbar), 'Organizing', 'Cleaning', and others like Wuxia/Xianxia, crane games, and espionage. These new tags are presented as signals of what genres Steam considers currently trending or growing, making them useful for indie developers deciding what type of game to build next. The post also notes removed and merged tags, and ends with a sponsored Humble Bundle promotion for Synty game assets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
