Steam Client Beta Group

The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

General

• Added UI that temporarily replaces the "What's New" section of the Library when pre-purchased games are available to pre-load or install and play
  
• Added UI at startup for account selection
  
• Added a "sign out" option to the main menu that removes credentials for the signed in account from the machine
  
• Fixed a crash when the OS is notifying Steam that it should shutdown
  
• Improved performance of games when using Steam Workshop APIs
  
• Refreshed the profile games page with a new style and improved performance

• Added new feature that allows Steam users to copy existing Steam game installation and update files from one PC to another over a local area network, without having to download and install from a Steam content server on the internet. This reduces internet traffic and can speed up installs or updates.
  
• This feature is currently only PC -> PC or PC -> Steam Deck, and both sender and receiver must be opted into Steam Beta.
  
• Steam users have control over who files can be sent to: self only, friends only, or everyone. The default setting is self only.

• Reduced flashing in background when scrolling through games on home screen

• Added support for the Sony DualSense Edge controller including support for remapping of the rear buttons.

• Added a loading throbber when waiting on Steam Cloud to update
  
• Improved the latency of querying the workshop in the Configuration Browser and fix issues with configurations popping-in or opening the wrong tab because results weren't fully received
