Valve To Overhaul for Steam GUI
We've all been accustomed to Valve's Steam layout (GUI) for many years now and little has changed. Well, that is about to change as over at GDC Valve has announced with is going to overhaul the GUI.
Not just the GUI (graphics user interface) though, also you are going to notice something called Steam Events. The game library is set to prioritize games that you play often, giving a featured slot to the game you most recently played. With new competition in the likes from EPIC store, and names like Uplay, Origin, GoG, Humble steam is losing market share and needs to step thing up.
Valve mentions that players can run their games quickly and efficiently. The library home page will also retrieve news and thus that events carousel dedicated to updates and events. Events will be of interest towards esports aficionados as there is an option for developers to enable live streams of events (like esports tournaments). Have a peek below and click the thumbnails to check and preview the new layout.

I'm not sure why they went with the Origin look, but what's wrong with keeping things simple like they did back in the day?

Although my main use of steam is to fire up a game and occasionally throw my money at it during sales, i doubt anything here will have any major impact on what i do with it already.....although if it helps improve steamVR with third party HDMs then that would be nice.
