There is no need to wait for the release: update immediately.
valve announced about the release of a major update to the Steam client. It brought design changes and new features.
Most importantly, a new game overlay with notes and a browser that could be try out in beta since April. It allows you to make notes for the future in a notebook and chat on the forum without turning off the game (well, to be honest, following the guides and tips will also be more convenient).
We also redesigned the notification system with the ability to choose which messages you want to receive - and where exactly. The notifications themselves have also received a redesign, with the bell now only shown when there's actually something new for you.
At the same time, we made changes to the interface: we made it better readable on the desktop, mobile application and Steam Deck, updated the icons and added other cosmetic improvements.
Finally, Steam for Linux and macOS now supports hardware acceleration for smoother animations and a more responsive interface.
The update is already available for all users of the stable version of the client.
