Get a glimpse of the long-awaited Steam redesign

Attachment 19095

A Steam redesign has been simmering away at Valve for a few years, with only the occasional tweets from employees and leaks confirming its existence. Back in January, Valve put together a gathering for game developers, during which it gave a presentation on Steam and, apparently, the redesign. SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik has posted a slide on Twitter that allegedly comes from that presentation.

It’s a bit of a jumble, a collage of Rainbow Six Siege screenshots surrounding a drowned out update post. It’s busy and hard to parse, but it’s also been cropped, so we’re not seeing the whole thing. It bears some resemblance to the publisher and developer homepages that Valve introduced in June, so perhaps Valve’s already started slipping in ideas from the redesign.

Notably, it looks nothing like the leaked images that were discovered in the Steam client beta back in 2017. Those images also showed off the top bar, featuring new sections for comics and TV, and a flashy, bespoke game page for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. Who knows what it will look like in another year?
