Steam has been one of the platforms preferred by PC players for years. While Valve’s desktop app is hugely popular, its mobile app is disappointing; Virtually no changes have been made visually over the years. Valve finally got their hands on Steam’s mobile app and announced an all-new Steam mobile app with a new user interface. With the update coming years later, it has a brand new look that is compatible with SteamOS on the Steam Deck.

The Steam Authenticator was giving sequential codes that could be used for a limited time during the login phase. Now, when you log in on a new computer, it is enough to scan the QR code.
