The previously leaked Steam store menu design is now available to explore in the platform's beta client, confirming a number of changes Valve is testing for full release.
A new community update from Valve reads: "Just as the Steam Store has changed with the addition of new features in past few years, the ways users browse the store have changed too. Today's Steam Client Beta features a new store menu that is designed to provide easier access to the places Steam users most frequently visit."
There's also a new Recommended tab on the main menu that takes you to a new page with all of your recommended games based on things like playtime, what you've purchased in the past, and recommendations from friends.
Meanwhile, Valve says the new Browse tab "offers a variety of ways to find games based on popularity, release date, price and discount." That's accessible right from that main top menu as well.
The categories tab has also been updated to be more personalized toward your specific preferences, featuring hubs based on the genres and tags you play the most.
I gave the updated menu a quick spin before writing this story, and it's definitely noticeably cleaner and a little easier to narrow down games to stuff I actually care about. That said, it's hard to say if that's because I knew exactly what to look for after reading Valve's community update. Why don't you check it out for yourself and let Valve know what you think right here.
