A Steam patch notes generator for indie devs
Steam announcements use BBCode, not Markdown. This free generator formats your game update as correctly structured Steam BBCode — with headings, bullet lists, and emphasis tags. Write your update in plain text, preview the formatted result, and copy it straight into the Steamworks announcement editor. Your draft is saved in your browser between visits.
