Valve continues to make changes to Steam. This time, the platform has introduced innovation that will allow them to see how much storage space a game requires. If you are a member of the Steam beta client program, you can access this feature right now.
Although this change of Steam seems small, it is important to know how much space a game will take. It allows us to check in advance, especially if you have a small capacity hardware. In addition, currently the game listings on Steam show when a game was last played, how much time was spent playing it, and the number of achievements earned.
Steam brings ‘Required Space’ instead of ‘Recent Play’
The current beta version coming to Steam has the phrase ‘Required Field’ instead of the ‘Recent Play’ field. From here, we can see how much space the game wants. Steam last brought an innovation on this issue in September 2021. In this context, ‘Storage Manager’ was made available to users.
Valve has not yet announced when the current modification will be released. Still, there is a possibility that it may ship with the Steam Deck, which is expected to launch on February 28. It should be noted that the company has not made any official statements here, these are just estimations. However, considering the limited storage space of the Steam Deck, this inference seems quite logical.
Deck, compatible games started to take place
The company has also updated Half-Life 2’s UI to offer better Steam Deck functionality. In addition, it began to mark productions as ‘Deck Approved’. If you want to see the change coming to Steam with your own eyes, you need to be a member of the beta program. Instructions to join are on the Steam Support page.
