The Steam Workshop is a mod repository for Steam Games. When a developer releases a game on Steam and that game has mod support, they have the option to link it to the Steam Workshop. Linking to the Steam Workshop allows creators to upload their mods for a huge built-in audience to enjoy, and it provides regular players with an easy and streamlined process for obtaining mods.
When you open the Steam Workshop, which is accessible through the Steam Community, you will be presented with a list of popular games that have mods available for download. You can also choose to view featured games, recently updated games, and recently played games. You can also view a list of every game that supports the feature.
You can open the Steam Workshop directly from your Steam library. When you click on a game in your library that has Steam Workshop support, you will find a button that links directly to that game's Steam Workshop page.
