If you’re a video game lover, you’ve definitely seen this. Steam interface is always a thing of the past. Although Valve has made efforts to make changes to the computer version in recent years, the mobile version has been completely forgotten, it is not practical to use, but this will change completely.

The iOS and Android app hasn’t changed in the slightest since 2015, but Valve is already testing a beta where it will be visually updated. This is something that will allow all players to navigate the app much more comfortably and discover new games and offers according to your tastes that may interest you the most.

Valve bets on a complete redesign of the Steam app on mobile

The announcement was made by Valve via a post on its official blog. The first thing they want to emphasize is that the most used functions so far will be preserved. browsing the store, getting the Steam Guard code and also confirming transactions One touch.

But beyond maintaining these functions, among QR code entry, smart notifications, enhanced library and multi-account support. But most interesting of all is the visual change that makes everyday use much easier.

This is something achieved a bar at the bottom of the screen where the most used shortcuts are grouped: store, library, notifications, and also Steam Guard.

Now you can try this beta and we offer you our ideas.

Currently, this a beta that you can install on any of your devices, either iOS or Android. In the case of iOS, there is a quirk that there is a 10,000 user limit and you can access it through TestFlight. But when it comes to Android, it takes a few minutes to sign up for this program and deliver the update, but it’s much easier as you can access it via the Google Play Store.

In my experience, this is a significant change. The use I’ve given the app so far has been just to receive notifications of my wishlist and also to quickly check the availability and even prices of some options. But beyond that not useful at all as it did not have quick access to the most essential functions like the store.

After installing the beta, the change happens immediately, mainly due to the access bar at the bottom. This Reminds many clients for computer and overhead access. Most notable is the updated Steam Guard, which can scan any QR code to quickly access your account on other computers with the highest security and without having to resort to hated verification codes that arrive in email. mail.

This adds notifications that are now much more meaningful. lets you know games that enter the store, either because they are on your wish list or because they can be adjusted to your taste. Remember that Steam learns from your favorite categories, either through games you’ve already purchased or just spent the most hours on.

Also, thanks for news new tab You can be aware of all the news in the video game industry, as well as the trailers released by the developers.

It will be possible to quickly visualize all the contents of the store and shop through the app and even order it to start downloading to your computer if it is open. Undoubtedly, all these features will enable me to use the application much more often and to be aware of all the news that may come to me.

Performance-wise, this beta works really well. The only downside is not fully translated. The arrival date for all users is not official yet, but this is undoubtedly great news for video game lovers. Steam showed that it was slow in its applications, but in the end, it adapted to designs more suitable for 2022.
