Overview

• Valve moved the storefront redesign out of beta and made it live across the web, the Steam PC app, mobile apps, and the Steam Deck.
• The new layout replaces the old left sidebar and blue header with one wider top bar featuring Browse, Recommendations, Categories, Hardware, Ways to Play, and More.
• Discovery is more tailored, with hoverable Categories showing personalized genres and centralized access to Recommendations.
• Search now surfaces word-based results, quick jumps to suggested categories, a list of popular searches, and a recently viewed section.
• Early reactions are split, with praise for clarity but critiques that the panel-heavy, mobile-style design reduces information density and adds extra clicks, even as the main carousel remains.
