Steam is a PC game storefront and distribution service developed and maintained by Valve Corporation since it's initial release in 2003. Originally developed as a software client to provide updates to Valve's games, it eventually expanded to game distribution in 2005, with even more features and enhancements being added over the next two decades, including a Steam-dedicated handheld console titled the Steam Deck. It is currently the largest video game distribution platform for PC games, with a majority of today's AAA, AA, and Indie titles being released on the platform. Steam is home to just one Drawn to Life game, the most recent entry Drawn to Life: Two Realms, although the series' development teams 5th Cell and Digital Continue have released other titles on the platform.
