The browser quiz game 'SteamCue' reached its V1.0 release on July 23, 2026, after development by independent creator ganma_cat. The game runs entirely in a browser on PC or smartphone, requiring no download or account registration to play. Each round presents a screenshot from a Steam store page, and players pick the correct title from four choices, with hints such as release year, price, and genre tags available. The quiz can be customized by setting conditions like review count thresholds, specific genres, or release eras, allowing for short sessions focused on well-known titles or longer tests covering a broad range of games.
Multiplayer options include a Party Room where a host with a Steam account creates a room and shares a code or link for others to join without logging in. Standard rooms support up to 4 players, while VIP hosts can expand that to 8. A beta 1-on-1 Online Battle mode automatically matches waiting players under fixed rules, currently without ratings or ranks. After answering, players can view detailed information on the featured games and visit their Steam store pages. The game also includes an 'Everyone's Game Quiz' feature that compiles games around specific themes, which can be saved and reused as question sets.
