Valve changed the look of the Steam Marketplace for the first time in 15 years

Valve introduced a massive update for the Steam Marketplace, completely redesigning its appearance and adding new functions for buyers and sellers.

One of the biggest changes became the updated item page design. Now users can see more images, detailed descriptions and extra marks directly inside the listing. Because of this, players no longer need to launch the game just to check how an item looks before buying it.

Valve also expanded the way information about skins and other cosmetic items is displayed. In item cards users can now see paint patterns, wear levels, item condition and other unique parameters. The new feature applies not only to weapon skins, but also to charms and other collectible items.

Another noticeable change is the redesign of the marketplace structure itself. Similar items are now automatically grouped into separate tabs, while the interface became wider and more comfortable for browsing a large number of listings. In addition, the developers improved price graphs and updated the search system, making it faster and more accurate.

Right now the new interface is available in an open beta-testing format. Users can already try the updated marketplace, and if they want, they can switch back to the classic design.
