Today we’re starting a limited beta of the updated Steam Mobile App. We’ve rebuilt the app on a new framework and modernized the design. (2015 called and wanted their app back.) You’ll still be able to browse the store, get Steam Guard codes, and confirm trades, but now the app comes with QR code sign in, smarter notifications, an improved Library, and multi account support.

Why are you doing a beta? The sooner we get your feedback on a product, the better. So when we’re far enough along, we ask invested Steam users to try something out and provide feedback. This helps us test our assumptions, learn what you like and don’t like, and find things that need to be fixed. This is especially important when the app can be used on so many different phones and devices.

Who should join the beta? You should join the beta if you already use the Steam Mobile App and you’re willing to provide your feedback on the update. Join this Steam group for instructions on how to install the update and how to tell us what you think. Per Apple guidelines: iOS participants will be limited to 10,000 and will need to install TestFlight.

What if I can’t join the beta? If the beta slots are full, you can still join the group and chime in. We’d like to hear from you!

What’s coming next? We’ll continue adding people to the beta and improving features until we’re ready to push the update out to everyone.

Note: This update was re-released on August 30 with the following change: Reduced network usage at startup.
Note: This update was re-released on August 19 to fix an issue with Steam Chat window handling.

After crossing the midpoint of 2022, we're pleased to announce Steam's Top Releases for the month of June. As always, we look at every release for the month, highlighting the Top 20 games and Top 5 DLC releases based on their first two weeks of revenue. We also highlight the top 5 free-to-play games, ranked by the number of unique players they acquired after launch.

The Top Releases of June 2022

With appearances by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic the Hedgehog, Cloud Strife, and others, many of June's Top Releases seemingly emerged from a '90s time machine. Some are remastered and reimagined versions of their decades-old counterparts, while others represent brand new new entries in their respective universes. Players of the originals are sure to recognize familiar gameplay elements, beloved characters, and memorable storylines, but old and new players alike will appreciate the modern polish, added features, and brand new content that is anything but dated. So if you're short on quarters or can't find an your old game cartridges, take a look at June's Top Releases for a healthy does of the '90s.

June's Top Releases bring no shortage of exciting multiplayer offerings. Whether uniting players together for survival or pitting them against one another in epic struggle, roughly two thirds of June's Top Releases support a variety of multiplayer modes. For players who thrive when working together, June's co-op choices are as exciting as they are varied: team up to survive a perilous aquatic voyage in Raft; enjoy the near endless combination of heroes, weapons, and magic in Tiny Tina's Wonderland; or work together to write your own unique summer camp horror story in The Quarry.

If your efforts to cooperate fall short, June also presents a variety of PvP options to help settle any conflict: battle your friends in the medieval fray with Chivalry 2; leave the warm-up lap behind with the latest Formula 1 offering F1® 22; or put your combos to the test with any one of ten classic fighters from the Capcom Fighting Collection.

Finally, we'd like to congratulate the teams who are shipping a game on Steam for the first time. A huge amount of work goes into to making a Top Release, and these teams did it with their first launch on Steam. A big welcome and congrats go out to these successful Steam debuts.
