Exciting Steam Update Alert!
Hey there! There’s a big Steam update rolling out, packed with features you may have already tried in beta and a whole bunch of new stuff you might not have seen yet. Whether you’re a beta tester or not, it’s time to dive into all the changes that are now in the hands of the masses. Yes, even the seemingly minor ones like “removed a setting from music settings that wasn’t hooked up to anything” are worth noting!
For the full details of this latest Steam update, check out the official release notes. But for a quick overview that you can digest without needing a newspaper and slippers, keep reading below.
Some of the key features in this update were highlighted during beta testing, such as the ability to set custom sort names for games in your library. This means you can finally arrange your Yakuza series in the correct order instead of the default alphabetical mess. You can also now set custom artwork for your games, adding a personal touch to your gaming experience.
In addition, the wider store pages that were teased by Gabe Newell are now live. Another standout addition is the accessibility settings menu in desktop mode, offering options like high contrast, reduced motion settings, and interface scale controls to make Steam more user-friendly for all players.
The performance monitoring feature in the Steam overlay has also been revamped, allowing you to track your CPU’s temperature while gaming. This feature may require a kernel mode driver on Windows, but you can easily disable it if you prefer. Additionally, Valve has fixed issues like duplicated Xbox and PlayStation controllers when Steam input is enabled.
Lastly, macOS 11 users should take note that support will be ending on October 15th, so it may be time to consider an upgrade. Now, it’s time to organize your Assassin’s Creed games in the correct order and dive back into gaming!
