Steam Alerts
Alerts for every game you follow — Game news. Game news is typically announced within a few minutes.
Arclo watches a game and posts an announcement when something new appears. The engine, the message editor, the filters and the behaviour options are the same on every platform — see Social Alerts for those. This page covers what is specific to Steam.
Adding a game
- Steam game
- Paste the store page URL or the numeric app id. For example:
