Early Access · Steam genre shortlist

Games whose merged metadata includes the Early Access genre. Rows come from the same union of Steam app ids as our other tools (multiplayer discovery seed, save-path catalog, franchise hubs) plus Steam Store fields when the catalog build could reach the API; otherwise offline titles and heuristics.

Sorted by Metacritic when present, then by Steam app id and title.

How we built this list

Metadata comes from our checked-in steamGamesCatalog snapshot: merged Steam app ids from multiplayer discovery, the save-path catalog, franchise hubs, plus discovery seed genres when richer than the store row. Sorting reflects the last site build.
