Steam Desktop Beta – Calling all testers!
Hello!
A couple weeks ago, we shipped a hefty update to the Steam Client Beta, with new features including an updated in-game overlay, a new game notes feature, and updated notifications. (Details and pretty pictures about this update can be found here)
We’ve been gathering feedback and making updates, and as we get closer to shipping we could use more testing and coverage from you to make sure nothing is overlooked.
We’re introducing a [url]one-click opt-in[/url], to make it easy for you to try out all the new features and provide feedback. Once the features ship to everyone on Steam, your client will be updated to the latest public version available (automatically ending your participation in this beta.)
