New Steam library beta available to all

A new Steam library beta client is available for all Steam users to try out. We’ve got information on what’s involved and how to access the beta.

First, the new Steam library sports a completely new UI, allowing you to add games to shelves, or groups, or your own choosing. The new UI will also make it easier to understand which games have been updated recently and also when big in-game events are taking place.

How to join the Steam Library beta

Here’s how to join the beta if you’d like to take a look:

  • Open Steam
  • Go to Steam > Settings
  • Go to the Account tab on the left
  • Under Beta Participation, click CHANGE
  • Select Steam Beta Update
  • Click OK
  • Restart Steam

If you’re already part of the beta program, you can ensure you’re getting the latest update by doing the following:

  • Open Steam
  • Go to Steam > Check for Steam Client Updates

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
