Steam seems to be getting another UI overhaul

Valve’s Steam is constantly updated with quality of life features for PC gamers by introducing new tools to make searching for games easier or through sales for every event or season, which explains why it is the biggest marketplace on the platform. Steam seems to be getting a Library Manager as well as a redesigned downloads page sometime in the future.

The new downloads page looks a bit flatter, yet cleaner in comparison to the current version. Both Network and Disk-related information are now displayed side by side rather than being stacked on top of each other while the progress bar is now on the right side of the page, along with the rest of the information related to the game that is being downloaded.

Pavel Djundik, data miner and the creator of SteamDB were able to access these new features while looking into the SteamPal update, he shared images of the new features on his Twitter.

He also explained that there is “a new settings page as well, but it doesn’t open so easily though.

The Library folders feature is also being expanded and renamed as Library Manager and will list system drives and currently installed games along with space they’re occupying on the selected disk, the Library Manager can also identify installed DLCs and Workshop content separately.

Steam’s last visual update was in 2019 when it introduced custom backgrounds and logos for games. The library update also added a collections feature which was previously called categories. Collections act as a folder for your Steam games where you can organize and stack them based on genre, features, and modes.
