JAKARTA - Steam, a video game digital distribution service from Valve announced several new features as well as improvements to features already on its platform that include updating dialogue, menu, font, and color.

First, Valve has overhauled the In-game Display completely. With this new interface, Valve wants all players to be able to chat quickly or check questions or content related to the game.

Next, there is also a new tool bar that will give users access to anything that may be needed in the middle of the game. So, you'll be able to select some windows to personalize what you want to see overlayed.

You can embed the window from the overlay, so that the windows will appear on top of the game while you're playing games. You can also set the opacity level so that your game doesn't interfere.

There is also a Game Overview feature that will show what happened to the game since the last time you played it. For example, Steam will show what achievements you are achieving, which friends are playing the same game, top guides, news, and so on.

Another interesting new feature is the Notes feature, which allows you to write notes about the games you're playing. This note will be saved per game and will be synced to another PC that you enter, and can also be accessed outside of the game overplay, in the game details page.

All of these features are now available on Steam Client Beta. In addition, Valve said it had sent this update on Steam Desktop, Big Picture Mode, and Steam Deck simultaneously.
