West Hunt News

On September 12, 2022 we launched one of our favorite maps to date, Mexico City. We wanted to honor that map and Cinco de Mayo with our loyal player base! So to celebrate, launch into a West Hunt Game and play in the Mexico City Map with your best friends!

For those who might not be aware, Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is a yearly celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

There’s no better time to celebrate than with a little friendly competition between community members, so share a screenshot of you playing in the Mexico City Map to the Screenshots section of the Steam forum! Doing so will enter you into a raffle to win 1 random item bundle key. Use #WestHuntCincoDeMayo in your submission to be considered.

[h3]How to Upload a Video to Steam Community:[/h3]

• Videos must be uploaded to YouTube before you'll be able to submit them to the Steam community. YouTube videos must be set to public and embedding must be enabled.
  
• Adding a video to the Steam community can be done by clicking the "Videos" link on the right side of your Steam profile.
  
• If your Steam account is not yet linked to YouTube, you'll need to click the "Link to YouTube" button at the top of the page.
  
• On the next page select the "Access your YouTube videos" button. You'll then be prompted to enter your YouTube account credentials and to authorize Steam.
  
• Once you're done linking your YouTube account with Steam, return to the videos page on your Steam profile and select the "Add videos from YouTube" button near the top. Clicking on this button will give a page which looks like the following:
  
• Find the video you want to share and click on the checkbox to the left of the thumbnail under the "Select Video(s) to add" section. Once you have a video selected choose the game you want to associate it with by using the drop-down list. If you're adding a non-Steam game video, you can type the name of the game into the text box beneath the drop-down instead.
  
• When you're ready, click on "Add Video".
  
• Near the top of the page you'll receive confirmation letting you know the video was added.
  
• If you click on the "Videos" button on your Steam profile it will now display the video you just added. The video will also appear in the community hub for the selected game.
