We have just shipped an updated Steam Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

Steam Achievement Sets

A new way to organize, track, and complete a game’s achievements. Read more details in the announcement.

  • Games can now organize and group achievements for base game and DLC content

  • DLC achievements can be added via sets without breaking game completion

  • Completed achievement sets remain completed when new sets are added

  • Achievements and sets can be archived if they are seasonal or can no longer be achieved

  • Updated Achievements page and achievement rollup displays

General

  • Notifications settings layout has been changed to be easier to work with on all screen sizes

  • Fixed multiple edge cases that could cause memory leaks in game streaming and controller code

  • Multiple general stability improvements and fixes for rare crashes affecting small numbers of users

  • Fixed an error displaying dates for users in British Columbia

Library

  • Improved offline support for the activity feed and fixed cases where it could previously skip loading some events.

Linux

  • The Steam client is now a 64bit application.

  • The Steam client now runs inside a Steam Runtime container.

    • This will help the Steam client provide a more consistent experience across multiple distributions. This is the same technology used by Steam games.

  • Fixed a case where Steam updater UI would fail to show for some users.

Remote Play

  • Added a “Display Style” setting to allow stretching and zooming when the stream is a different aspect ratio than the client display.

Steam Controller Firmware

  • Fixed an issue where shutting down a controller while docked to the puck could cause it to turn back on

Accessibility

  • Background art will appear on the home screen when High Contrast is enabled
