How to Wishlist on Steam

Why Wishlisting Matters

Wishlisting Game of Thrones: War for Westeros on Steam is the simplest way to stay informed about a major PC release without spending money upfront. Valve's wishlist system notifies account holders when a followed game launches, when it enters a sale, and sometimes when demos or playtests become available. For a 2026 strategy title still accumulating preview coverage, those notifications prevent you from learning about release day a week late because an algorithm missed a headline.

Publishers also monitor wishlist velocity as an interest signal. You are not obligated to buy at launch, but adding the game helps legitimate PC strategy projects compete for visibility on a crowded store. Because War for Westeros is a premium RTS — not a free-to-play mobile port — there will be no substitute for owning the Steam package when servers go live. Start with wishlisting, then deepen preparation via How to Prepare Before Launch and System Requirements.

Find the Official Store Page

Always wishlist through the authentic Steam listing to avoid scam copies. The official app ID is 2838950, titled Game of Thrones: War for Westeros by PlaySide Studios. You can reach it from our site's Steam buttons, the official website, or by searching the exact name inside the Steam client or browser store. Verify the developer/publisher names and trailer match content discussed in our Reveal Trailer Breakdown.

Phishing sites occasionally mimic popular franchises. Check the URL domain is store.steampowered.com and the HTTPS padlock is present. If a page asks for your Steam password outside the normal login flow, close it. Bookmark the legitimate page once confirmed so future visits skip search ambiguity.

Wishlist on Desktop Steam Client

Open the Steam client on Windows, macOS, or Linux and sign in. Paste the store URL into the store search bar or click a trusted link. On the game's store page, locate the green "Add to your wishlist" button beneath the title and price section. Click once; the button should change to indicate the game is saved to your wishlist. Steam syncs wishlists account-wide, so the same entry appears on mobile and browser sessions.

Optional: add a steam:// URL shortcut to your desktop for quick checks on news posts. When PlaySide updates the capsule art or releases a demo, the store page changelog often appears before mainstream gaming news aggregates it. Pair store checks with our News & Updates page for commentary.

Wishlist in Browser or Mobile

If you prefer a browser, log into steamcommunity.com or store.steampowered.com with the same account. Navigate to the War for Westeros listing and click "Add to your wishlist." On mobile, install the official Steam app, search the game title, and tap wishlist from the product screen. Mobile wishlisting is useful when trailers drop on social media during commutes — you can secure notifications before forgetting.

Enable Steam mobile notifications if you want push alerts for major wishlist events. Settings vary by OS, but granting notification permission ensures launch day pings reach you even when email inboxes are noisy.

After Wishlisting — Smart Next Steps

Wishlisting is not the end of preparation. Follow How to Choose Your Faction so launch day installs align with your preferred house. Read How to Play RTS Basics if genre fundamentals need refresh. Use the Release Countdown tool for a shared community sense of timing, remembering the date may shift when PlaySide announces specifics on Release Date.

Consider wishlist-related Steam events carefully. Next Fest demos and regional pricing emails sometimes precede launch. War for Westeros has no confirmed demo at the time of writing; if that changes, our news hub will note it prominently. Avoid third-party key resale sites before launch — legitimate Steam keys, if offered later through official bundles, will be reported through trusted channels, not random DMs.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If the wishlist button is greyed out, confirm you are logged into the correct account and that family view or purchase restrictions are not blocking store interactions. Regional unavailability may temporarily hide pricing; wishlisting might still work, but some territories see "coming soon" placeholders until publishers enable them.

Duplicate entries cannot exist, but multiple similarly named games can confuse search. Rely on developer name PlaySide and franchise wording "War for Westeros," not older Game of Thrones titles. For franchise context see vs Other GoT Games. Once wishlisted, you are officially on the path — next stop, preparing your battle plan.
