Valve is not resting on its laurels and continues to work to optimize Steam so that it remains the leader in PC gaming. It is thanks to this effort that today he was able to announce that a lot of new things are on the way to Steam.
According to Valve, a new Beta of the Steam client is now available. This is a version that adds new features that will be tested for a while before reaching the commercial version of Steam. It is worth mentioning that those who test it have the opportunity to give their opinion so that Valve can make the necessary adjustments.
But what news will there be? For starters, we have behind-the-scenes changes that will allow different elements of Steam to work more streamlined. This will allow Steam changes and news to be implemented more quickly.
Among the changes players will notice is a new in-game interface that adds new functionality. Now it will not only be a way to check quick content on the Internet, see the Steam forums or talk with friends, as it adds new options with more content.
“The new toolbar gives you access to everything you might need in the middle of a game: chat with friends, see the status of your achievements, consult guides, view discussions, navigate and much more. There are a couple of windows that we have chosen as default, but you can choose and customize the content elements that you want to see in your interface,” Valve said.

Among the novelties is a Notes application that allows you to write down what comes to mind and refer to it while you play, even in offline mode. The same is the Summary of the game, where you will find information about the title such as achievements, friends who play, guides, news and more.
Something that many will appreciate is that any window in the new interface is that it allows you to set windows to appear above the game, with the transparency that you decide. In this way you will be able to consult information while you play, instead of interrupting your game every so often.
On the other hand, the notifications are now broader and more useful so that you are aware of everything you need. On the other hand, the capture manager is more responsive and allows you to manage the captures online and those you have on your computer.
