Seeing an outdated and clunky Steam mobile app was a bummer over the years. Now, finally, you can say farewell to that old version of the app because Valve has completely overhauled the app with modern features for Android and iOS.
Steam has completely redesigned the app with major updates. Today, iOS and Android users can download the latest app version from their respective stores. A couple of newly introduced features are a QR code scan to log in and two-factor authentication to make sure only you can access the account.
The ability to use a QR code for Steam Guard to scan and log in to your PC or steam account. Users no longer need a password, username or verification code. You simply scan a QR code with your phone, and the app will display a confirmation page to ensure that you approve your login and will be signed in automatically. A new, most useful authorized device page on the app allows you to sign out of Steam remotely if you forget to log out of someone else’s PC.
Players can now easily handle their downloads and updates directly from their phones and can access the store, game library, Steam Guard, community, notifications and news section from any location.
Finally, the new Steam app allows you to use multiple accounts on the same device. You can look into the Steam app’s revamped features in the list below.
Updated features of the Steam App:
- Sign in with a QR code – Instead of entering a password, scan a QR code to sign in to Steam.
- Two-factor authentication – to ensure only you have access to your account.
- Authorized Devices – Control access to the devices associated with your account.
- Remote game download and update on your PC managed from your phone.
- Your Library, where you can find game content, discussions, guides, support, and more.
- Streamlined customizable tabs, notifications, and comments, including wishlists, sales, and friend requests.
- A better Store browsing experience on mobile devices.
- Confirmations for trades and markets – to guarantee that items do not leave your account without your permission.
Valve also says it’s working on bringing its new QR code sign-ins to the Steam Deck and is updating its Chat app with “various bug fixes,” which will be available for Android today and iOS “soon.”
