We're giving the Steam store home a refresh, and you can try it out now by opting into the latest Steam beta within your desktop client.

The updated design is our latest work in making improvements across the Steam store, like the game page updates we made a few months ago. The new layout aims to make it even easier for you to find new games by displaying more content and information. We're now displaying higher resolution game art for better visual clarity. Those of you with higher resolution monitors will notice the new store home is wider and more responsive. If you're viewing the store home on Steam Deck or in Big Picture mode you'll also see these updates.

Updates

• Overall Design Refresh: Over the years we've introduced new sections and added new 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.

  

• Featured & Recommended: 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 peak at the action. We also added a sneak-peek of the adjacent games in the carousel.

• Option to disable: Micro-trailer hovers and animated marketing assets can be disabled in Store Settings for users with motion sensitivity.

  

• Discounts & Events: Now uses larger game artwork.

  

• Updated Discovery Queue: A quicker way to browse titles in your Discovery Queue without leaving the page.

  

• Better Hover States: A short description is presented along with other relevant information. The UI is updated to provide better contrast and legibility. 

  

• Infinite Scroll: Refreshed design to bring this part of the store home in line visually and functionally with the rest of the sections.

New Sections

• Your Wishlist: This section, as you might guess, features games on discount from your wishlist. 

• DLC for Your Games: This section will feature DLC that's on discount for games from your library.

Welcome to your humble abode for the week—Steam House & Home Fest—featuring discounts and demos on games all about the home from now through April 6th at 10AM Pacific.

Steam’s Tower Defense Fest is packed with great deals on games that let you build things up and attempt to prevent others from tearing them down.

Navigate through mazes and killing machines (maybe both?) and play alone or as a team. A variety of ways to play; a common goal: DEFEND YOUR TOWER.
