The Steam store has been updated today. It has a lot of new functional settings and finally looks better! I bet most of you guys won’t be able to switch to the new UI just yet, but lets all agree we needed a change after all these years.
The new update is called Discovery Update 2.0 – the next milestone of the Discovery Update released in 20014. Valve did a lot of good work on this one. The new design reduces the number of clicks you need to do in case you want to find something. The old store was a mess. Especially with all of those Early Access Titles on the main page, you can finally hide them!
Valve is now enforcing real screenshots in the store for each game – not some Photoshop bullshit ones.
Here are the highlights of the update!
Quick Access:
More direct links to common destinations. Plus, sections you probably didn’t even know we had.
Personalize (FINALLY!):
Now in the upper-right corner of every game image you will find a quick menu of options including quick access to your Preferences, allowing you to further customize your Steam shopping experience.
Recently Viewed:
Quickly get back to products you’ve been browsing.
Friends Activity:
Whether it’s a hot new release, joining a special event, or getting back into a game that was recently updated, now it’s easy to tell what your friends are excited about.
Expanded Curators:
If you are following Steam curators, we’ve added a clickable preview of their latest reviews and recommendations.
