The new and rearchitected Steam client (currently in public beta) is an improvement over the old client for me. It feels like a pretty good evolution, bringing performance and new features.

It's pretty clear they have spent a lot of time and effort on this release, without enshittifying it.

I haven't heard of the new client, I'll happily eat my words if they manage to fix any of the things that I've been grousing about for years.

You'll be disappointed, it's not an entirely new client but rather a hybrid. Some pages are in a new design, some in the old, it's a huge mish mash in the same way Windows is.

The updated Big Picture mode is great. I'm able to do practically all my Steam-related interactions with just a controller, without needing to get my keyboard/mouse.
