Oh sure, your Steam library might be unreasonably enormous, but what your life is really missing is the finicky organization that collectors crave. A new game is aiming to replicate that feeling by letting you nicely organize your actual Steam library onto shelves.
Boxroom, announced as part of Steam’s House and Home Fest, looks and plays a lot like other home designer sims like House Flipper. The major difference here is that you’re just designing one room, and it can creates a virtual space to store your whole Steam library. A demo is available now that lets you try out the concept with a random assortment of your Steam games.

The trailer shows lots of flexibility in organizing your room, not all of which is available in this demo. But you can place some shelves and sort through your game collection to place them on those shelves, which is very satisfying for those of us who are fastidious about having everything placed just-so.
It auto-generates boxes to go with your Steam library, using text and screenshots from their Steam listings to adorn the back of the box. And if you open the box you can flip through some screenshots and see the box art on a 3.5″ disk, for those old enough to remember those. The idea of Modern Warfare or Clair Obscur fitting on a 3.5″ disk is fantastical but let’s just go with it. You can even launch straight into another game, if looking at your old pristine digital copy of BioShock makes you want to play it again.
Boxroom is scheduled for a Q2 2026 release.
