Hello Steam team and fellow users,

I’d like to raise a global issue with Steam’s profile location system.

The current list of cities and towns available in the profile settings is clearly outdated, inconsistent, and in many cases — flat-out illogical.

Across many countries, there are:

Recognized cities with tens of thousands of residents completely missing

Obsolete names still used, even decades after renaming

Tiny villages listed while bigger towns nearby are excluded

This is not just a problem in one country. It affects users from Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Balkans, and beyond.
It impacts anyone trying to set their real location and express regional identity on their Steam profile.

🎯 My case as an example (but not the point):
I’m from Oleshky, a city in Ukraine with over 24,000 people.
It’s not listed - not even under its old Soviet name (Tsyurupynsk).
Yet nearby villages like Partyzany (~1500 people) are listed.
GeoNames, Google Maps, OSM all recognize Oleshky - Steam doesn’t.

🔧 Suggestion:

Update Steam’s location database across all countries

Or simply allow manual entry of city name instead of drop-down

This is not urgent or political - just a long-overdue improvement that would show Steam cares about the global community it serves.

Thanks for reading. Hope this gets noticed.
