Valve releases major update to Steam Client with a overhauled in-game overlay

Valve, the popular video game developer and digital distribution company, has released an important update for the beta version of its Steam client. This update is part of a larger code restructuring happening behind the scenes for the entire Steam software ecosystem that contains the desktop client, Big Picture mode, and the Steam Deck.

One of the most notable changes in this update is the overhauled in-game overlay. Valve has built a brand-new user interface, adding new utility and allowing for more customizability. The new overlay includes a new toolbar, a 'Game Overview' section, a new Notes app, as well as an ability to pin windows from the overlay.

Apart from the new overlay, Valve has also improved the notifications and the screenshot manager. Notifications are now richer and more useful, and the screenshot manager has been completely refreshed and is more responsive.

Valve's Steam client is a popular platform for gamers, with millions of users worldwide. This update is a significant improvement to the user experience and will be welcomed by many players. The beta version of the Steam client is available now, and the update will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.
