Steam Big Picture Mode Updated Ahead Steam Machines Launch

[Omnomnick]

With the launch of the first "Steam Machines" coming up in the last few months of this year, Valve are working hard to try and get the Steam platform ready for what are essentially simplified PC's. A big part (no pun intended) of the Steam Machines project has always been Big Picture Mode, which was recently updated with new navigation options and features. For those not aware, Big Picture Mode essentially functions as an alternative to the Steam interface designed specifically for controller input.

​

As shown in the above screenshots, the Big Picture interface has been partially redesigned, improving areas such as the Library and Store by making them easier to access while also providing access to more features. Some of the changes are quite large and noticeable, while others are far more subtle. It's definitely starting to look a lot more like something you could fittingly attach to a computer worth several hundred dollars or more. Since most of the changes aren't really covered in Valve's official changelog, head on over to Big Picture Mode for yourself to check them out!

Even if you haven't intended it, I still love that pun. Simple and elegant.

I wrote it naturally then stopped briefly before realising what I'd done.
