Steam changes its refund policy so that pre-order early access playtime now counts towards the 2 hour rule
You get 2 hours, whether the game is out or not

Steam has🐼 added a new rule to its refund policy meaning the time you spend playing 𒀰a game before release now counts toward its 2-hour playtime rule.
On April 24, Steam shared a brief detailing an update about its Refund Policy. Before this update, the general rule was that users could request a refund for "nearly any purchase" for "any reason" so long as the g♌ame had been played for less than two hours. Following the changes, the period in which someone plays a game ahead of release now counts in 𝐆this same two-hour window.
"Today we have updated a portion of our Refund Policy regarding pre-purchased titles," the post reads. "This change covers titles that are in pre-purchase and offer 'Advanced Access.' Playtime acquired duꦰring the Advanced Access period will now count towards the Steam refund period."
This means that if you pre-order a game and i⛄t offers a couple of days early access, the time you spend playing it before release now counts towards that refund window. The change probably won't affect many people as y🏅ou're still getting the two-hour window, you can just decide if you like a game sooner than you would if you played it after release. The rest of stays the same.
This is just one of the changes Steam has made this year. In January, it was revealed that a new Steam policy will allow the "vast majority" of AI games to release - but it will require a two-stage disclosure from the developer to be allowed on the storefront.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indi🍎es, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write aboutꦫ the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
