We have reported that V is going to be rightSteamThe news of the redesign of the store, now it’s finally coming! The new Store introduces new ways to browse, search, and find your next favorite game, including a number of highly anticipated features, and you can now experience the refreshed Store interface in beta.
“Just as the Steam store has changed over the past few years with the addition of new features, so has the way users browse the store,” Valve wrote. Today’s Steam client beta includes a new store menu designed to provide easier access to the areas most visited by Steam users. “With the new Store helping you search the market for the latest and greatest PC games, Valve encourages people to join the test and provide feedback on new features and changes.
The familiar blue top navigation bar and left link bar will be removed and consolidated into a single top menu. The search function has also been improved across the board, introducing several new options. “Hottest Searches” allows you to keep up with popular trends; The “Recently Viewed” bar allows you to quickly return to several recently viewed games without having to re-enter the name; There will also be more ways to search for categories, tags, publishers, and more. The Advanced Search feature has also become more accessible, allowing for more filters to find exactly what you’re looking for.
If you just want to casually browse the store, the new Browse tab will help, offering options to find games by current popularity, release date, price, and any active discounts. The Recommendations section has been condensed into a single area where you can find titles similar to your favorite games, community recommendations, or games promoted by individuals and connoisseurs you trust. The Categories tab is also personalized, prioritizing the genres, topics, and tags you play most often, increasing your chances of discovering content that matches your tastes.
“With these changes, we aim to make the experience smoother and more suitable for players.” Valve explained: “We’ve been hearing feedback from players and have experienced that some of the most visited areas of Steam are difficult to find. Whether you’re a frequent shopper or looking to expand your gaming library, this new layout aims to make it easier for players to get where they want to go. ”
