Steam Social Deduction Fest is packed with discounts on games that ask you to really look at everyone around you and ask "friend, or foe?"

As you'll see demonstrated in our trailer above, it's not always obvious who to trust. But that's the fun of it when you're grabbing deals on games that require your best judgment of character, whether that's in the form of murder mysteries, hide-and-seek, and even just good old-fashioned paranoia in general.

Join us now for Steam Social Deduction Fest, on through July 16th at 10 am Pacific. See you there! (Or will we? Can you trust us?*)

*Yes, yes you can.

Greetings to everyone who loves good deals on great games (everyone, we hope?)!

The Steam Summer Sale means the entire Steam Store is filled with deals upon deals upon deals, as our official trailer above will attest. From now through July 9th at 10 a.m. Pacific (it's a long one, friends) you can pick literally any genre of gaming you love and find all sorts of sales.

Cooking battles, universe exploration, fighting with swords/guns/your fists, cozy games, football and basketball games, zombies, and more. Wait, we should list the "more", it's so good: there are even all-time greats that are on deep discounts throughout the sale.

The Steam Summer Sale is yours to explore in the shade of the summer (or in the warmth of the winter for our southern hemisphere friends): Now through July 9th at 10 a.m. Pacific. See you there!

The June edition of Steam Next Fest is live, with developers all over the world sharing their upcoming releases with you before they even launch! Peep our trailer (above) for a taste.

Steam Next Fest is on now through June 22nd at 10 a.m. Pacific. See you there!

Steam Bullet Fest is on now through June 15th at 10 am PT. As you can see from our trailer, there are all kinds of shoot-'em-ups offering discounts all week long!

Today we are excited to announce the release of the refreshed Steam Store home page. Thank you to everyone who opted into the Steam Client beta and provided feedback during the beta period. The updated design is a continuation of recent improvements across the Steam store, like the game page updates we made a few months ago.

Read on for details of the update:

Over the years we've introduced new sections and added more ways for you to discover and learn about games, and this update aims to make the store home feel more cohesive. Each section has a distinct set of tools and information to give users many ways to explore the diverse catalog of games on Steam. A goal of this visual refresh is to strike a balance between providing more consistency in UI elements, while allowing the unique nature of each section to show through.

There is now more detailed information highlighting the reason a game is being recommended to you; plus a user review round-up. When hovering over a game's cover art, the game's micro-trailer will play for a quick peek at the action. We also added a sneak-peek of the adjacent games in the carousel.

We've brought back two sections that you may have seen during our big seasonal sales permanently: Games currently on sale from your wishlist, and recommended DLCs for you on sale.

You can now find a personalized calendar right on the home page, giving you a quick way to see new and upcoming games recommended based on what you play. Page through to see new and exciting games that are coming out in the next two weeks or view your full calendar to look even further out. You can even see recommended new releases you may have missed.

A quicker way to browse titles in your Discovery Queue without leaving the home page.

We refreshed the design to bring this part of the store home in line visually and functionally with the rest of the sections. This includes a micro-trailer and screenshot preview display. Additionally, you can now click a screenshot to expand it.

The contents of this tab have been updated in response to player feedback in order to better capture the most anticipated releases of the coming month. If you're looking for more niche upcoming releases, check out your Personal Calendar (details above).

We've also shipped lots of upgrades to the details of what makes up the homepage. Here are a few of the bigger changes:

We know that bigger animated assets can be a problem for some folks. If you're sensitive to motion such as animated marketing assets or trailers that appear when hovering over games, we've got you covered: These things can be disabled by visiting your Store Preferences. When disabled on the home page we will switch to static screenshots instead of micro-trailers and use static marketing assets.

Users with a controller will see significant improvements to navigation on the homepage. This will mostly impact players on Steam Deck or using Big Picture Mode.

A short description is now presented along with other relevant information. The UI is updated to provide better contrast and legibility.

We're now displaying higher resolution game art for better visual clarity, making the most of the latest game art uploaded by developers.

Q. How long has this been in beta testing?

A. Since April 1.

Q. Can I personalize my view of the store?

A. Absolutely. You can customize your view by setting your store preferences, following game developers, and by ignoring individual games or tags.

Here's how to get started with editing your store preferences: https://store.steampowered.com/account/preferences/

• At the top of your settings, you'll find options for setting the level of mature content you are comfortable with. Steam breaks down mature content into five categories, which are based 1:1 on categories selected by the game developers, and double-checked by Steam's review team.

• As you scroll down your store preferences page, you'll see a number of options, including categories of products you wish to see, user tags to exclude, and individual products you've ignored in the past.

For Developers:

We are using higher resolution graphical assets in more places throughout Steam. We encourage you to review your game's graphical assets and update any missing or lower resolution assets from the store page editor. Visit the Graphical Assets documentation page for more information.
