Refine your wishlist
Wishlist search supports autocomplete. Steam also identifies wishlisted games with available demos and can notify you when a demo becomes available.
You can restrict wishlist notifications to selected categories.
Share a category or filtered view
Steam can generate a sharing link for a specific category or filtered wishlist view. The dedicated link does not expose the rest of your wishlist and can be revoked.
See Steam's official wishlist announcement for the feature overview.
