Steam has (finally) renewed its mobile app

The newly updated Steam Mobile app is already available!

Nowadays, it has become utterly necessary to create a tech strategy that involves all the elements that provide the best experience for its user. Creating a game, a program, an app, or anything in between, can become such a task considering the competition, budget, and the user’s expectations.

And without a doubt, Valve is facing the gaming industry with the tech know-how they got under its sleeve. The famous (but a little bit expensive) SteamDeck has proven to be the ultimate gaming console. They were competing against portable techs, such as Nintendo Switch, which has gone a long way from a PC player perspective. Nevertheless, there still was another catching up to do from Valve. Its Steam app has gone through a lot, but it still didn’t give its users what they expected. This went on for a while.

Luckily, Steam’s “infamous” mobile app is getting a massive update today. The app is available in the apple app Store, the Google Play Store, and as a standalone APK.

According to an article on Steam’s official news blog, Valve has “completely revamped” the app on both iOS and Android, introducing:

  • Two-factor authentication to ensure you’re the only one with access to your account.
  • QR code sign-in - Scan a QR code to sign into Steam instead of entering a password or…
  • Sign-in confirmation - Confirm your regular Steam sign-ins with a simple “approve” or “deny.”
  • Authorized Devices - Manage access to the devices your account has signed-in.
  • Easy access to the Store, Community, News, etc., from wherever you are.
  • Your Library with access to your game content, discussions, guides, support, and more.
  • Remote download of games and updates on your PC, managed from your phone.
  • Customizable Steam notifications: wishlist, sales, comments, trades, discussions, friend requests, and more.
  • Trade and Market confirmations – to ensure items don’t leave your account without your approval.
  • An improved Store browsing experience for mobile screens.
  • Support for using multiple Steam accounts in the app.
  • Customizable tabs.

A new framework, new design, and new features. You’ll still be able to browse the store, get Steam Guard codes, and confirm trades - with additions like QR code scanning for PC sign-in, smarter notifications, customizable tabs, and a new Library view with remote downloads. Supported by work across the entire Steam platform to improve account security, including new sign-in experiences on the web and in the Steam Client, the mobile app is the best way to keep your account secure with two-factor authentication.
