Steam now lets developers display the exact date of when their game leaves Early Access

Steam now lets developers optionally display an official 1.0 launch date on Early Access game store pages, with the option to show a specific date or broader timeframe like year-only. The feature addresses developer requests for transparency and lets players know when to expect the full release. Steam notes devs should only commit to concrete dates with high confidence.
