Tips

culture
Valve's PC gaming platform, read as English 'Steam'. Mainland Chinese players use the global Steam store via VPN, plus the official 蒸汽平台 (Zhēngqì Píngtái, 'Steam China') variant launched in 2021 with a tightly censored game library. Major seasonal sale events (夏促 xiàcù summer, 冬促 dōngcù winter) are major events in Chinese PC-gaming culture.
