Steam is finally getting a redesigned library—here's our first look

New "collections" and advanced tag searches will let you sort games more easily. And it looks nicer.

_SilverHawk_1876d ago

I've been waiting for the redesign for a while.

starchild1876d ago

Me too. It looks pretty good so far. I like the more vertical cover art for games.

SegaGamer1876d ago

I prefer it the way it is now, this just looks too bloaty. The way it is now is nice and simple, I don't know why people think the modern way of filling the whole page is a better look.

Scatpants1876d ago

I'm sure the option to view as list will be there if you don't like cover art.

Scatpants1876d ago

That looks way better. Like Plex for games.

Amplitude1876d ago

Yessss this is amazing!

Ive got over 1000 games and a ton of them i have no idea what they are lmao
It's kinda cool that now i can search my own library for, like, a first person shooter or a story-based game or just whatever im in the mood for. Into it.

ginganinja1876d ago

I don't know if you know, but you can use 'set categories...' to make your own tags and it'll group them that way.
You can even pick multiple games by using 'shift' or 'ctrl' to select them and then right clicking.

Amplitude1876d ago (Edited 1876d ago )

thats true but a lot of them i literally dont know what they are so i have to go to the steam store page or look at screenshots lol. Plus then i get stressed out like do i put all first person games in one category so Portal is with Call of Duty or do i sort by Puzzle games and Shooters - and then where do i put tomb raider? And then you want a multiplayer category but what if there's a single player too. S t r e s s e s m e o u t m a n
Life is hard

ginganinja1875d ago

They can have as many categories as you want.
So you could do one for 'puzzle' games and one for 'first person games' and select Portal for both and it would show up in both categories.
Same for games you wanted to define as single and multiplayer.

Game pass hasn't even hit the enshittification stage.
Xbox has proven they have no direction, they aren't looking after the developers they've acquired.

Competition is good & very much needed but Xbox has been a joke since Don Mattrick left, the only thing I've heard from Xbox since 2014 is words, empty words.

DaleCooper4h ago

You hit the nail on the head when saying "no direction". It really does feel like this with Xbox lately.

purple1011d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

I can tell you now, there will be A SEPARATE cod tier of gamepass

they will separate the two tiers, added onto of their existing 3 tiers, so now more tiers.... so Gamepass:ultamite:cod

EITHER THS:

or they keep same price, get everyone playing cod, then raise price 2-3 months after, sneaky little ****'s

Stopped reading after this.
"Xbox says Game Pass is profitable and I’m sure it probably is."

Just pure delusion.

You live in an alternate fanboy reality if you think game pass is profitable while in reality Microsoft is firing people, closing down studios, raising prices and making their games third party.

Some people just want to be lied too I guess...

danno_omen1d 2h ago

They have investors and a board they are required to report to. They can lie about a lot of things and do, but profits ain’t one of them, especially in court lol

Xeofate1d ago

You don't understand, when we see the investor reports on this site they are reporting revenue not profit.

Microsoft has lost multiple legal cases for misleading investors.

It's well know that they manipulate and hide costs and losses in other reports in order to be able to present positive reports to their investors and the public on products they are trying to drive..

Why do you think they are closing down studios making major cuts to staff increasing prices and lowers rewards? It might actually be worse if game pass was profitable and they were doing this.

MrDead8h ago

No Xbox needs to be sold to a company that wants to grow gaming instead of what we have, a company that wants to own gaming... and get you to rent games.

All these articles speculating and guessing when what you need to do is look at MS and how they conduct business, they buyup, take the IP's, tech, etc they want, consolidate then shut down.

Smaller studios are chaff to MS, they have control of some of gaming's biggest IP's to use as leverage and are moving on.

franwex1h ago

I think that may be a good solution. Simply spinning off Xbox into its own company as right now it’s simply “Microsoft Games.”

They obviously will still have a good relationship with Microsoft as they can provide the OS and network infrastructure for Xbox. But would manage their studios better.

Hofstaderman8h ago

How does a non-profitable, self-cannabilizing and non-growing sub service need a reset? It needs a bullet to the head.

“While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5“

We always here this statement yet we have plenty of games that struggle to run at solid frame rates or decent resolutions.

Skuletor23h ago

The developers should know the limits of these consoles, especially this far into the gen. I'd blame them and possibly the publishers, pushing to make games as visually appealing as possible at the cost of resolution and frame rate, which is nothing new in the industry.

franwex1h ago

I may skip next gen altogether probably. We will see.
