Header Capsule Required

Usage: This appears at the top of the store page, in the 'Recommended For You' section, in browse views on Big Picture mode, and for Daily Deals if applicable.

Design: For best results, please use the key art and logo that is being used for any retail boxes or marketing. The art used for them should immediately tell the customer something important about the game. It should be graphically-centric and give the user some sense of the game-play.
  • Do not include quotes or other strings of text beyond the title of your game.
  • The game's logotype should be easily legible against the background.

Size: Please provide '920px x 430px' . Smaller versions will be generated from this.

Note: Generally, this artwork should not change. If you want to include text about major game updates, tournaments, or other time-sensitive events on your capsules, then Artwork Overrides will allow you to upload bespoke capsule images to market something specific in your game, and then have those special images automatically expire after a set timespan.

Small Capsule Required


Good Execution: Logo clearly legible!

Poor Execution: Logo not legible at small size.

Usage: These are used for various lists throughout Steam. Search results, top-sellers, new releases, etc.

Design: These are small, so for best results focus on making the logo clearly legible.

Size: Please provide '462px x 174px' image. From that, two smaller sizes (120x45 and 184x69) capsules are automatically generated.

Requirements: Small Capsule should contain readable logo, even at smallest size. In most cases, this means your logo should nearly fill the small capsule. The art in the small capsule does not need to be the same as your other capsules (Main, Header, etc.)

Note: Generally, this artwork should not change. If you want to include text about major game updates, tournaments, or other time-sensitive events on your capsules, then Artwork Overrides will allow you to upload bespoke capsule images to market something specific in your game, and then have those special images automatically expire after a set timespan.

Main Capsule Required

  • The game's logotype should be easily legible against the background.

Size: 1232px x 706px

Vertical Capsule Required

Size: 748px x 896px

Screenshots Required


dotascreenshot.jpg

Screenshots should exclusively show the gameplay of your game. This means avoiding using concept art, pre-rendered cinematic stills, or images showing awards, marketing copy, written descriptions, and so on. Please show customers what your game is actually like to play. Menu screens should only be included if they are a unique component of your game. Showing the in-game UI can be helpful for players to understand how they will be interacting with your game.

Usage: Screenshots are displayed on your store page, and on other pages where your game may be featured such as the Steam homepage. You must provide at least 5 screenshots of your product.

Design:

  • Formatting - For best results, please provide screenshots in high-res, widescreen format. Any images you upload to the ‘screenshot’ section of your store page should be screenshots that show your game. This means avoiding using concept art, pre-rendered cinematic stills, or images that contain awards, marketing copy, or written product descriptions. For elements such as marketing copy, awards you’d like to show off, or descriptions of your Deluxe Edition, please use the specific spaces already available on your store page rather than including it in your screenshots.

  • Localizing - To upload localized versions of a screenshot, drag and drop alternative versions on to an existing screenshot's thumbnail. Language name can be used as a suffix to hint to the UI which language this screenshot should be in (For example, foo_japanese.jpg)

  • Age Suitability and Mature Content - By default, your screenshots are not marked as 'suitable for all ages'. Before you publish your page, you should review If your screenshots have suitable content, and if they are suitable for all ages, you should mark at least four screenshots as indicated in the picture below. Suitable screenshots should not contain gore, violence, or suggestive themes. If you do not mark any screenshots as 'suitable for all ages', they may not show on some areas in steam including on the front page when you hover over the title art. If you do not have enough screenshots flagged, your game may not appear in these places, even if it otherwise qualifies.

Size: 1280x720 or 1920x1080

Page Background Optional


dota_page_bg_raw.jpg

Usage: This is the image that may be used in the background of your store page.

Design: This should be ambient so as not to compete with the content on the page. A template will automatically be applied to your uploaded file. If you don't upload your own, we'll automatically take the last screenshot and generate an appropriate background image from that.

Size: 1438px x 810px

Bundle Assets

Bundles use the same set of assets as other products on Steam, with one addition:

Bundle Header

Usage: This image appears at the top of the bundle detail page on Steam.

Design: This image should focus on the branding of your product. For best results, please use the same artwork that you use for any retail box or marketing and make sure the logo is clearly legible.

Size: 707px x 232px
