Today we are excited to announce the release of the refreshed Steam Store home page. Thank you to everyone who opted into the Steam Client beta and provided feedback during the beta period. The updated design is a continuation of recent improvements across the Steam store, like the game page updates we made a few months ago.
Read on for details of the update:
Overall Design Refresh
Over the years we've introduced new sections and added more ways for you to discover and learn about games, and this update aims to make the store home feel more cohesive. Each section has a distinct set of tools and information to give users many ways to explore the diverse catalog of games on Steam. A goal of this visual refresh is to strike a balance between providing more consistency in UI elements, while allowing the unique nature of each section to show through.
Featured & Recommended
There is now more detailed information highlighting the reason a game is being recommended to you; plus a user review round-up. When hovering over a game's cover art, the game's micro-trailer will play for a quick peek at the action. We also added a sneak-peek of the adjacent games in the carousel.
New Wishlist and DLC Sections
We've brought back two sections that you may have seen during our big seasonal sales permanently: Games currently on sale from your wishlist, and recommended DLCs for you on sale.
New Personalized Calendar
You can now find a personalized calendar right on the home page, giving you a quick way to see new and upcoming games recommended based on what you play. Page through to see new and exciting games that are coming out in the next two weeks or view your full calendar to look even further out. You can even see recommended new releases you may have missed.
Updated Discovery Queue
A quicker way to browse titles in your Discovery Queue without leaving the home page.
Keep scrolling for more recommendations
We refreshed the design to bring this part of the store home in line visually and functionally with the rest of the sections. This includes a micro-trailer and screenshot preview display. Additionally, you can now click a screenshot to expand it.
Popular Upcoming: Now more popular
The contents of this tab have been updated in response to player feedback in order to better capture the most anticipated releases of the coming month. If you're looking for more niche upcoming releases, check out your Personal Calendar (details above).
Attention to details
We've also shipped lots of upgrades to the details of what makes up the homepage. Here are a few of the bigger changes:
New Motion Sensitivity Store Preferences
We know that bigger animated assets can be a problem for some folks. If you're sensitive to motion such as animated marketing assets or trailers that appear when hovering over games, we've got you covered: These things can be disabled by visiting your Store Preferences. When disabled on the home page we will switch to static screenshots instead of micro-trailers and use static marketing assets.
Improved Gamepad Navigation
Users with a controller will see significant improvements to navigation on the homepage. This will mostly impact players on Steam Deck or using Big Picture Mode.
Improved Capsule Hover
A short description is now presented along with other relevant information. The UI is updated to provide better contrast and legibility.
High Resolution Game Art
We're now displaying higher resolution game art for better visual clarity, making the most of the latest game art uploaded by developers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long has this been in beta testing?
A. Since April 1.
Q. Can I personalize my view of the store?
A. Absolutely. You can customize your view by setting your store preferences, following game developers, and by ignoring individual games or tags.
At the top of your settings, you'll find options for setting the level of mature content you are comfortable with. Steam breaks down mature content into five categories, which are based 1:1 on categories selected by the game developers, and double-checked by Steam's review team.
As you scroll down your store preferences page, you'll see a number of options, including categories of products you wish to see, user tags to exclude, and individual products you've ignored in the past.
For Developers:
We are using higher resolution graphical assets in more places throughout Steam. We encourage you to review your game's graphical assets and update any missing or lower resolution assets from the store page editor. Visit the Graphical Assets documentation page for more information.
Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration featuring hundreds of FREE playable demos as well as developer livestreams and chats. Players try out upcoming games on Steam pre-release, developers gather feedback and build an audience ahead of their Steam launch, everyone wins!
This release includes a variety of bug fixes and quality of life improvements for SteamVR.
We continue to focus on OpenXR as our preferred API for new games and applications. SteamVR’s official OpenXR subforum is here and we’d love to hear your feedback, as well as suggestions for new features.
SteamVR:
Fixed issue causing shimmering on the edges of the display on some headsets.
Dashboard: Resolved some memory leaks on AMD hardware.
Dashboard: Improved compatibility on some older (legacy) AMD hardware.
Fixed an issue with older AMD cards or drivers that caused a memory leak.
Streaming: Advanced settings UX now respects global toggle.
Improved version compatibility handshake when streaming.
Fixed HTC Vive users not being able to activate the laser mouse by clicking the HMD button after the dashboard is visible.
Add protection from hangs in vrserver on exit.
Speculative fix for Varjo headsets not having a display.
Fix regression in Chaperone behavior that was impacting some 3rd party OpenVR plugins.

On Linux, work-around to enable 240 MBit/s streaming on NVIDIA cards.
Reduce performance overhead of Timing Debug Window.
Adjust packet timings to reduce latency spikes.
Fixed streaming certain OpenXR games on Quest (including Pavlov and Into The Radius 2)
OpenXR:

Steam Input
Steam Controller: Minor improvement to gyro micro stutter (ignore clone packets).
You can turn off "Track Pad locking" - by default each trackpad is disabled while the corresponding joystick is either deflected or the joystick's capacitive sensor has been activated. This is to avoid accidental track pad touches when using a joystick. Find the setting in: Settings->Controller->Details->Calibration & Advanced->Trackpad Lockout.
Gyro to Joystick Camera: Defaulted Gyro Deadzone Speed and Gyro Precision Speed to 0 to aide tuning the correct Minimum Joystick Output - these settings would swallow the micro movements needed to check the minimum response to gyro movements. Also: added Minimum Joystick Output slider on the Configurator Quick Settings list.
Added an extra option to Gyro to Joystick Camera - Angle Catchup can be active while gyro ratcheting.
Fixed Gyro to Joystick Camera timing issue - should appear smoother across all controllers.
Removed several configuration options from incompatible inputs. Digital Buttons can no longer be set Press types that require Analog input and Gyro can no longer be set to incompatible Radial Menu or Hotbar. These options will still be available for all compatible inputs.
Fixed detecting the Steam Controller when it is charging on the puck at Steam startup.
Fixed an issue with doubled input when the Steam Controller is charging on the puck.
Fixed FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro in enhanced mode on Linux and macOS.
Fixed "Reset Camera To Horizon" action operating inconsistently in different engines - turn commands chunked into 2 to improve consistency.
Fixed quick settings Left Trackpad to point to correct settings, instead of toward Gyro.
Fixed not being able to use Grip Sense to activate Touch Menus.
Fixed Grip Sense sensor page Grip Range slider, and adjusted explanations.
Added Grip Sense rumble effect to Grip Sense calibration screen.
Fixed an issue where Steam Controller grip thresholds were loaded incorrectly in the device calibration screen.
Fixed an issue preventing the Steam button chord configuration from being edited for the Steam Controller.

Notification settings has been updated to allow changing e-mail, client, and mobile notification preferences in one place.
In-Game Overlay
Fixed a case where Performance Monitor could over report frame rate if a game erroneously calls NVIDIA APIs to get new frame tokens at a much higher rate than their actual Present frame rate.
Fixed cases where the overlay may not immediately cover the entire screen when first invoked.
Fixed cases where the Big Picture mode overlay notifications may be positioned incorrectly until the overlay is first invoked.
Fixed a rare case where GameOverlayUI64.exe could stop responding and use too much CPU.

The latest update to Steam Workshop has just wrapped up a beta test period and is now deployed for everyone.
The next time you visit the Steam Workshop for your favorite game, you'll see an updated interface for browsing, searching, and filtering, making it easier and faster to explore and find great user-created mods to enhance your gaming experience.
Read on for details of this update.
Updated Home For Every Workshop
The main Workshop page for each game has a fresh new layout, which can be customized by the game's developer.
By default, the page starts off with featuring the most popular mods based on user ratings in the past week.
Next, the page lists the available item tags to quickly browse relevant content, or you can flip through the tabbed section of "Most popular", "Most Subscribed", "Last Updated", and "Most Recent"
In some communities, certain items have become the foundation upon which many other mods are built, so we've added a section to highlight those important cornerstone mods that are required by other items.
And of course if you follow individual Workshop authors, or if your friends have uploaded items for that Workshop, the page will display sections for those too.
Reworked layout for browsing and filtering
We've reworked the browsing and filtering experience to make the whole thing faster and easier.
Applying filters now happens much faster and without a page refresh, so it's easier to keep track of where you are and what has changed as a result of the filters you set.
We've also redesigned the page to make better use of wider screens, allowing more items per row. Now, for most players, you'll find four or five items per row instead of the previous limitations of three.
Saved Searches
When you've applied desired filters to narrow down to a set of interesting mods, you can also save your search query to get back to it quickly from the "Browse" menu.
Powerful search: titles and/or descriptions
Now, the search within Workshop defaults to searching both the title and description fields to find your desired term. You can click the gear icon next to the search field for more options and details on constructing complex search queries to narrow in on exactly what you are looking for.
Filter by required DLC
Some mods only work with content available in specific items of DLC for the game. You can now easily narrow down your searches to exclude items that require DLC that you don't have.
New Quick View
When hovering over any item in the Workshop, you'll find a new magnifying glass icon appear. Clicking that icon will open a new quick view of the item, with key details such as dates, file size, screenshots, description and ways to immediately subscribe, rate, or add to your favorites. Plus, you can use the arrows on left and right of the quick view to quickly browse through the same list of items you opened the quick view from.
In addition to description of the item you are viewing, the quick view panel also includes sections for other items or DLC that are required. You can also easily jump to all of the items that depend on the item you are looking at, as possibly an interesting way to explore some similar kinds of content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What if I find a bug? How do I give feedback on the changes?
A. Leave us a comment by clicking the 'Discuss' button below.
Q. Do you plan to update other pages in the Workshop?
A. Yes, but we don't have an exact timeline for when. Once we wrap up this beta of the browsing page, we'll have a better idea of scope of work for subsequent pages.
Q. Got any random Workshop trivia?
A. Absolutely, we love random trivia. Did you know...
