Steam Inventory Helper: Enhancements and New Features in Recent Updates
The developers of Steam Inventory Helper continue to actively improve the extension, adding useful features and promptly addressing issues. Updates 2.2.7–2.2.11 bring numerous improvements that make using Steam more convenient, especially for traders, collectors, and active platform users. This article provides an overview of all the updates and enhancements released in January 2025.
Enhanced Game Statistics on Steam Store Pages
Starting from version 2.2.7, users can view expanded statistics on Steam game pages. The following information is now available:
- Total number of reviews, including hidden ones: This helps provide a more objective assessment of a game’s popularity. For example, this is crucial if reviews are region-specific or there is a trend of removing comments.
- Last update date and a link to its description: This is particularly useful for multiplayer games, allowing you to quickly determine whether a project is actively supported.
- Peak player counts over the past 24 hours and all-time peaks: This feature is invaluable for those who prefer online games with an active player base.
- Price history and lowest recorded price of a game: You no longer have to rely solely on Steam sales—you can easily track price changes and buy games under the most favorable conditions.
Practical Benefits: With these improvements, users can quickly assess whether a game is worth its price, whether it is actively updated, and how popular it currently is.
Notifications About Free Items
Another new feature is automatic notifications about free items. The extension checks for freebies every 24 hours and sends a notification directly to your browser. This is especially relevant for those collecting items like in-game skins, cards, or exclusive time-limited items.
Use Case Example: You can set up notifications to receive timely information about giveaways, helping you expand your collection without additional costs.
New Tools for Managing Inventory
- Version 2.2.9 fixed a bug with the Instant Sell button in the inventory. (If this button doesn’t work for you, ensure it’s enabled in the settings under Settings > Inventory > “Instant Sell” Button ON/OFF.) This feature allows you to instantly list items for sale at the current market price. It’s particularly useful for quickly selling items without manually listing them.
- Version 2.2.10 introduced additional inventory management tools. Items can now be sorted by the value of stickers in Counter-Strike 2. This allows users to easily identify items with charms and determine their market value before selling weapons or the charms themselves.
Additional Information on Item Pages
One of the most useful additions in version 2.2.10 is the ability to see which case an item comes from (available after clicking the “Show more info” button). This feature is extremely beneficial for collectors and traders who buy or actively open cases.
Why This Matters: Knowing an item’s origin allows for a more accurate evaluation of its value, particularly for rare or limited collections. For example, some items are produced in limited quantities, and information about the case or collection can influence purchasing decisions. This is also relevant when selecting items as long-term investments or those that may soon be removed from the in-game store.
Additionally, a new feature tracks active buy orders while promoting items to the top. This helps avoid errors when listing offers and enables more profitable deals.
Currency Conversion on SIH.Market
The introduction of built-in currency conversion has become one of the most sought-after features. Users can now convert prices between different currencies directly on the website.
Practical Value: This feature is especially useful for international traders working with various regions. For instance, you can immediately understand the cost of an item in your local currency, even if the deal is made in a different region.
Interaction History
Version 2.2.11 added another important feature—interaction history with users. On the page of any friend or trading partner, you can now see:
- How long ago you added this user.
- The number of trades sent and accepted.
- The date of your last interaction.
Usage Scenarios: This feature is invaluable for players who frequently trade. For example, you can quickly assess how long someone has been in your friends list and check their activity to avoid interacting with inactive or suspicious accounts.
Other Important Improvements
The developers also introduced several minor yet significant changes:
- The ability to relist multiple items from your inventory at once. This saves significant time, especially for users actively managing a large number of items.
- Fixed issues with weapon pattern displays, making it easier to search for rare items.
- Resolved bugs in the trade window, ensuring proper display of game subsections.
Steam Inventory Helper strives to make the extension as convenient as possible for all user categories. From enhanced game statistics to new tools for traders, there’s something useful for everyone.
