In Steam, categories are called collections If you don’t have any collections created, then the games will appear in all uncategorized categories.

If you have a bunch of games, then you need to start creating collections to group your games according to the category. In Steam, there are two types of collections standard and dynamic. The standard collection will grow if you manually add games, and in the dynamic collections, it will grow automatically by using preset filters to categorize the types of games.
