Valve launches community-powered Steam Guides

Valve has announced the official release of Steam Guides, a player-driven catalog of tips and walkthrough references available for all to peruse.

Introduced last month in beta, Steam Guides already boasts nearly 1,500 individual references. Each one created by the players, for the players.

"Players may easily create guides through Steam, where they may upload images, add screenshots and embed YouTube videos,” Valve explained. Guides are then quickly accessible through Steam, via the Steam Community and in-game via the Steam Overlay.”

The company added that, similar to its Greenlight policy, guides for non-gaming software are in the mix as well. More info can be found on Steam’s community site.
