This is the new Steam. The library is unrecognizable
The owner of a player platform dominating on the PC has just presented a new version of the client application. Steam will change the appearance of the Library section, as well as add a new section, such as Events.
This has been talked about for a long time. There were fewer more authentic screenshots of the allegedly planned Steam client update to the Network. Valve, which owns the platform, has not commented on these rumors yet. However, she presented a new version of the application during GDC 2019. And this one actually differs slightly in appearance from the one we currently have.
Steam library with a new look
The first of the presented novelties is a new layout in the Library section. It will display at the very top of the recently launched games and information about updates to those we have. Below is a list of all our games with the possibility of almost any sorting them and displaying them in a different layout. The sidebar has been left almost unchanged for this.
The new Steam Library is not only visual but also technical changes. Valve slowly but consistently rewrites various modules of his application into web languages. The library discussed here uses the same solutions as the recently reconstructed Steam Chat.
The interface's appearance changed after clicking on a given game from our Library. The information that is presented about the selected title has not changed, but the layout has been modified.
Steam events will replace the news section
At this point, not only news will be presented, but also information about the updates of games that we have and observed. There, as the name suggests, there will be news related to tournaments, streams or new additions planned for these games.
The service will also be able to notify us of important events, if we have such a wish. And not only in the application: we will be able to request different types of notifications, including e-mail, text messages or in the form of a generated entry to external calendar services.
For now, it is not known when the new version of the application will go to our computers. During the presentation Valve used the phrase "in a few months" several times. So this is not a new thing that we should be eagerly anticipating, what Valve and his timeliness have already got used to.
