Valve Is Constantly Improving Steam For Customers!

Story Highlight
  • Valve says it found huge success through Steam last year due to a consistent focus on the consumer.
  • The gaming giant offered big discounts, enhanced game discoverability, and more to improve the user experience.
  • Major changes were made to recording and family sharing as part of the same goal.

Valve recently revealed new statistics for Steam in 2024, and to nobody’s surprise, the platform performed better than ever. One highlight was the amount of money new games made on Steam last year, which was 27% higher than in 2023.

According to Valve, this growth is largely due to its focus on consumers and their needs.

Why it matters: Steam has consistently shown a commitment to serving its 40 million-plus user base, making it the ultimate platform for PC gamers.

Discussing the many new features Valve added to Steam for its customers, the company highlighted the main reason behind its current growth.

Steam continues to grow because we put customers at the forefront of every decision.

One key improvement was made to the discovery section, a resource that has already proven useful in the past.

One focus here was on Next Fest, a seasonal event highlighting demos from various indie teams. Steam Next Fest was bigger than ever in 2024, giving smaller studios a chance to shine in the limelight.

Moreover, the platform introduced the ability to record and share gameplay clips seamlessly. Although this was already possible on PC using software like OBS, Valve’s implementation has made it even more accessible.

On the subject of sharing, Valve improved family sharing further, finally launching the service after an extended beta phase. All of these changes go a long way toward improving an already consumer-friendly platform.

As expected, Valve did not disappoint in the sales department either. 2024 saw the gaming giant hosting the biggest themed sales ever, allowing fans to go through various games at low prices.

Ultimately, the gaming giant attempted to do all of this to improve the end-user experience.

What are your thoughts on Valve’s approach? Will the gaming giant continue to dominate PC gaming by focusing on the consumer? Let us know in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
