Steam Deck will be a year later this month that started reaching those who booked in the second half of 2021, and what felt like an adventure that was going nowhere seems to be showing signs of consolidation. within the universe by Valve. Your computer consolidated easily exceeded one million machines sold and now those at Gabe Newell want to harmonize all versions of their digital store. Do you know how?

The launch of the Steam Deck brought many challenges and one of them was related to the software. Valve opted for a Linux installation and I decided to split the boot of your machine in two. On the one hand the desktop version of SteamOS and on the other hand the consolidatedwith menus through which we can navigate with the The sticks and gamepad buttons without the need for a keyboard and mouse.
This forced Valve to design a simple and useful interface for gamers, leading many console buyers to ask North Americans for the same idea they embodied in Steam Deck to be offered in the desktop app. , on all our computers, thanks to a Big Picture mode that followed these SteamOS lines.
Well, the news we got in the past few hours is that now fans can stop asking for it because Valve granted his wishes and the Steam desktop app’s Big Picture mode will soon branch off (visually speaking) much like Steam Deck.
Soon the update
As Eurogamer revealed, the Steam overview will now be much more similar to the home screen we find when we fire up our Steam Deck, such that if you are already a PC user consolidated you will know very well where to go to configure controls for a gamepad, profiles for a game, or how to add favorites from your library and have them handy to start them.
The update is currently not generally distributed to all Steam users, but rather was released in the beta channel where these things are tested, so we’ll still have to wait a few more weeks until Valve decides to hit the launch button. Still, if you’re one of those who already have a Steam Deck in your hands, it doesn’t go without saying too much about what you can expect from this revamped Big Picture from the digital store.
remember that Big Picture was released 11 years ago to expand Steam with a look consolidated to other devices beyond the PC. Valve’s idea always involved conquering smart TVs as well and, thanks to the game in streaming (within our own house), take our library to other rooms in the house. So this commitment to redesigning its interface and making it more user-friendly and popular thanks to the success of Steam Deck is a detail that we cannot miss. You do not think ?
