Valve is holding developers accountable for their season passes in new documentation released this week.

Valve is taking a stance against season pass es on Steam , implementing new guidelines for developers that’ll force them to be clearer about what’s in season pass es and offer refunds if those plans change.

Recommended Videos SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik first spotted the new documentation, and posted about it on Bluesky Thursday. However, buying a season pass can come with risks. If it changes after purchase or gets canceled, the player is often left in a strange position. They can get a refund, but how easy that is depends on the platform and if the developer or publisher is involved.

And if that DLC in the season pass is canceled, customers will be offered a refund based on the perceived value of that content. Valve will allow developers to delay a season pass’s date only once and only up to three months later. This could be a problem for larger games that might have long delays, but Valve opened the door for discussions for exceptions.
