Steam Finally Lets You Sort Your 'Yakuza' Games Right – No More Alphabetical Mayhem!
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Steam's latest beta update lets you finally sort your 'Yakuza'/'Like a Dragon' games in the proper order, bringing peace and harmony to our chaotic digital libraries! Plus, a few other handy fixes are thrown in for good measure, because why not?
Right, so, picture this: you've got your Steam library, meticulously curated. You're a stickler for order, a digital Dewey Decimal devotee. But then…chaos. The 'Like a Dragon' series, formerly the 'Yakuza' series, is all over the shop. 'Yakuza 0' is next to 'Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth,' and the Kiwamis are staging a rebellion behind 'Yakuza 6'. It's enough to make you want to chuck your controller out the window, isn't it?
Well, fret no more, mates, because Steam's latest Client Beta update is here to rescue us from this alphabetical anarchy. According to Rock Paper Shotgun, the update includes a nifty little customization tab in game properties. This bad boy lets you set a custom sort title that Steam will use instead of the actual game title when organizing your library. Hallelujah!
Finally, we can put 'Yakuza 0,' 'Yakuza Kiwami,' 'Yakuza Kiwami 2,' 'Yakuza 3 Remastered,' 'Yakuza 4 Remastered,' 'Yakuza 5 Remastered,' 'Yakuza 6: The Song of Life,' 'Yakuza: Like a Dragon,' and then dive headfirst into full-blown 'Like a Dragon' territory without our brains exploding from the lack of order. (And, if you're truly dedicated, even get your 'Pirate Yakuza' fan fiction organized.)
Now, before you get *too* excited, the custom name won't actually overwrite the game's display name in your library. It's more like whispering sweet nothings into the storefront's ear, letting it know how things *should* be. Think of it as a secret code that only Steam understands. It ensures that 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' (2016) doesn't pull a fast one and sneak ahead of 'Tomb Raider' (2013) in your list.
Outside of this blessed Yakuza-sorting intervention, the Client Beta update includes a bunch of other useful but less glamorous fixes. We're talking improvements to Big Picture Mode, game recording, and Linux support. And apparently, the top genres list in the store menu is now "more relevant and dynamic." Which, fair dinkum, hopefully means we’ll know instantly if the world suddenly develops an insatiable craving for shmups.
If you're keen to unleash your inner librarian and get your games sorted, you can find the instructions to opt into the Client Beta on Steam. Happy organizing!
