Steam now supports in-game DLC

The Maw is the first game to take advantage of the new functionality.

Valve has announced the arrival of in-game downloadable content to Steam, enabling developers and publishers to use their own games as a platform for selling additional content to gamers.

The first game to do just that is The Maw from Twisted Pixel Games. With The Maw: Brute Force and The Maw: River Redirect, players can extend The Maw storyline with new levels that fit in-between the original levels.

"We're happy that we can now offer Steam customers significant expansions to the Maw story, delivering more Maw directly to gamers while they're still playing the game," said Twisted Pixel CEO, Michael Wilford.

The Maw is available now priced £8.99, while the two DLC levels are each priced £1.10.
