In recent years, interface changes have been something that has always been present in the video game industry. Without going any further, at Xbox we are waiting for the expected interface redesign for Xbox Series X | S to finally arrive, but this is not the only one that will offer something like this in the coming days. To everyone’s surprise, Valve has announced that the latest Steam update is a major facelift for the launcherbeing one of the largest in recent years.
Steam’s June update has added really interesting news, such as a more stylized look, new features or a large number of options for its interface when we play. Without going any further, we will now be able to watch movies when we play, or take a look at YouTube through the interface itself in a quick and easy way.
These are the news of the Steam update of June 2023
According to Valve’s words, most of the changes that have been applied with this new update are at the code level, applying new features while maintaining functionality practically identical to what existed before the application. The first major change is that Valve has tweaked the Steam interfacewith a finish in which more types of fonts, colors and other aspects have been included.

Another notable change is the steam notification system. Anyone who has used the Valve launcher will know that it is not exactly something that is particularly attractive to look at. However, some really interesting changes have been incorporated. For example, now the tray it will only light up if it is really new information (goodbye to having a notification during designated days). In addition, the new tray allows us to order them chronologically, and now a greater amount of information is displayed on everything we see.
Finally, the most notorious of what has been included in this new Steam update is related to the Overlay. By pressing Shift+Tab we enter this new interface, where a multitude of new utilities have been included, such as the ability to easily view achievements, screenshots, open YouTube or even put on a movie. And best of all, we can set the position and size of the windows.
Therefore, the new Steam update represents a considerable improvement for those of us who use the Valve launcher, and it is now available to all users.
