Valve has started rolling out a brand new Steam app for mobile devices. While the app is already partially up and running, not everyone will be lucky enough to give it a go yet. Valve has said that it plans on doing a public release, but only once the app works on ‘many different phones and devices.’ For the moment, the app is only available as part of a very limited beta test.
Valve is optimistic about their new app, though. In a recent blog post on its website, the company delivered a few details about the changes that have been implemented in the new app. We’ve rebuilt the app on a new framework and modernized the design.’ In a witty aside, the company stated that the reason for the new app was ‘2015 called and wanted their app back.’
Valve elaborated further; ‘You’ll still be able to browse the store, get Steam Guard codes, and confirm trades, but now the app comes with QR code sign-in, smarter notifications, an improved Library, and multi-account support.’
Valve ended the post off with an appeal that those given access to the limited beta deliver their feedback on the product as soon as possible. That way, the company can ‘test our assumptions, learn what you like and don’t like, and find things that need to be fixed.’
In other Valve news, the company recently updated its desktop Steam client. Fans of the PC gaming utility have fallen in love with the features of the new update. Why not check the update out for yourself to see what all the fuss is about?
