Steam UI update beta now live, available for all subscribers
Click image to take a tour of the new Steam
Valve's working to keep its over 25 million Steam subscribers happy and the community growing by unveiling an updated interface, currently in beta. Any Steam user can opt in to the beta right now. It's a quick and painless installation that, once completed, brings a bevy of new features such as accessible lists of what games your friends have downloaded (along with their personal stats for each title) and some new ways for you to sort and organize game libraries. There's also cross-game achievement tracking and other smaller organizational options.
The interface is cleaner now and there's more information at your fingertips than before -- a well-informed buyer is a better buyer, no? You can also say goodbye to Internet Explorer rendering, which has been swapped out in favor of WebKit. If that alone isn't worth celebrating, we don't know what is.
