Steam introduces private branches, limiting game update visibility on SteamDB

Steam is introducing "private branches" for some games, limiting the information available on SteamDB. This change will prevent the tracking of updates and changes that fans often rely on to stay informed about their favorite games. SteamDB announced that these private branches will make it harder for users to see behind-the-scenes updates, including minor changes that developers might not publicly announce. The extent of this change is unclear, as no specific games have been mentioned. This move could impact how fans follow game developments, especially for titles with dedicated communities. Developers may prefer this option to keep surprise updates under wraps.
