Valve Tests Revamped Steam Store Home in Client Beta

The redesign targets better game discovery through richer details across all Steam interfaces.

Overview

  • Valve is testing a refreshed Store Home in the Steam client beta, which users can enable in settings to try now.
  • The update adds hover cards that explain recommendations, show user review summaries, and play optional micro-trailers that users can disable.
  • Browsing changes include an inline Discovery Queue and infinite scroll that let people scan many picks without leaving the page.
  • The layout uses higher-resolution art and a wider, responsive design with support for QHD, 4K, and ultrawide displays.
  • Valve says the same Store Home will reach Steam Deck and Big Picture after testing, and it has not given a date for a full rollout.
