Valve has been teasing a new Steam Community update, which will add a host of new features to the popular storefront. The major changes come to game pages, Groups, personal content hubs, and Friend lists, and each one is getting several tweaks.
According to Valve, the Game Hubs will house all of the content for a particular game -- screenshots, videos, workshop items, and news -- into a single place. It will also house discussion forums, and the content will be curated by users. Groups will get a new layout, its own discussion board, and personalization options like favorite games or default language.
Your own content updates will all be filtered into the same place as well, including your own image wall and Favorite items. The Friends list will now be broken off from the Community section, which is devoted to the Steam community at large, and instead will be tailored only to friends. It will feature a quick look at friend activity, status postings, and nicknames.
