The desktop version of the world’s most popular online gaming platform Steam has received a major update. The new update, which is currently available to users within the scope of beta, brings serious changes to the general interface of the application. Users seem to be pleased with the changes made.
Now we will take a closer look at the update features in the beta version of Steam. If you’re ready, let’s start.
All the innovations coming to Steam with the new update
The in-game interface has been completely renewed
One of the first innovations that stand out in the new beta version is that this in-game interface has been renewed. The interface, which has a more modern look, will allow players to chat with their friends while in the game, access game progress, access the internet browser and guides about the games they play. Some of these features already existed, but were not very useful. Moreover, Steam’s in-game interface can now be customized by players.
With the Notes application, you will be able to see your notes while in the game.
One of the most important new features of Steam is a new Notes application. Users will be able to take notes about the games they play with this application and place it somewhere on the screen. In this way, you will see the notes you take while playing the game. For example, you want to complete more than one task at the same time in the game. You can make sure you don’t forget the tasks by pinning notes to a corner of the screen.
With the window stabilization feature, you will be able to watch movies while playing games.
The window pinning feature used in Steam’s Notes app isn’t exclusive to Notes. Players can also be used with the in-game browser. Thus, a player will be able to watch movies via the browser while playing the game. This will provide a unique experience for users.
Notification menu has also been renewed
Steam also touched on the notification page in the new update. Now, the user who clicks the green button will see the most important notifications about him. With the View All option, all notifications sent to the account will be displayed in chronological order.
Easier to manage screenshots
Until now, Steam used to take screenshots in-game. The last update completely changed this feature. Now, the screenshot management panel, which works much faster, will be able to instantly access the screenshots that users have taken with filters such as game, size or date.
