Steam's latest update introduces a new 'customise' feature for your games, enabling users to sort their collection by release date, or opt to view Big Naturals Withers each time they open Baldur's Gate 3.
In an exciting development for gamers, Steam has rolled out a new update that allows users to customize and organize their game libraries more effectively. This update, available to beta testers, introduces a number of features designed to enhance the user experience [1][3][4][5].
The update includes a dedicated "Customization" tab in each game's properties, providing a unified space for users to manage their personalization settings. This tab allows users to upload and set custom artwork for each game, including cover art, background images, logos, and wide covers, enabling them to tailor the look of their game library to their preferences [1][4][5].
One of the standout features of the update is the ability to enter a custom sort title for each game. This custom sort title can be used to reorder the library based on personal preference rather than the official game title, providing users with greater control over how their library is displayed and organized [3][5].
The custom sort title feature is designed purely for sorting purposes and does not change the displayed game name itself. Users can sort their games numerically to automatically sort them in descending order. Additionally, users can tag games they like with terms like "good stuff" for easier sorting [1].
The update also allows users to label games by their release date and assign a percentile review score to each game, further aiding in organization and sorting [1].
Harvey Randall, a renowned video game writer with a history dating back to his request for a World of Warcraft subscription at age 12, has hailed the update as a much-needed improvement. Randall, who has written for various websites including Techradar, The Escapist, Dicebreaker, The Gamer, Into the Spine, and PC Gamer, has expressed his appreciation for the new features, particularly the ability to customize the appearance of each game [6].
In terms of hardware, the update does not require any specific hardware or software upgrades, making it accessible to all Steam users [2]. However, for those looking to upgrade their hardware, the WD_Black SN7100 has been touted as the best SSD according to various guides, while the AMD Radeon RX 9070, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB DDR5-7200 have been named as the best graphics card, CPU, and RAM respectively [7].
The update applies to both the desktop client and Steam Deck, with the customization tab accessible in both modes [1][4][5]. This update marks a significant step forward in Steam's ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and provide gamers with more control over their game libraries.
