steam launches pinned to-do lists for every game

As part of Steam’s latest update to its platform, an integrated Notes app and a redesigned in-game overlay tool have been added. The new feature allows gamers to write thoughts and tasks about the game they’re playing and runs as an overlay, accessible across any logged-in PC and when playing games offline.

When overlaid on a game, pinned to-do lists can be adjusted for opacity, and guides, discussions, and other content can be clipped to the screen.

Further updates from Steam include a redesigned toolbar and overview. The new toolbar now features everything from chat to guides and is fully customizable. The game overview feature will also show a player’s achievement progress, gameplay stats of friends, and news about the current title.

Notifications have also received an upgrade, and there’s an in-game option for taking screenshots, which are sortable by the most recent capture, instead of per game.

The new features are currently only available through the Steam Client Beta. If you’ve never tried a Beta version before, the process is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is head to the settings (preferences if you’re a Mac user), click the Beta Participation change button in the Accounts tab, and select Steam Beta Update. Once you restart the Steam app, the Beta features will be visible.

Valve has pointed out that much development time has gone towards updating and improving code sharing between the Steam Desktop Client, the Deck, and Big Picture mode. The company notes that the upgrades should allow new features to roll out faster across different platforms.
