Huge summer update see new community features
Valve are planning a massive update to their Steam service this summer that will introduce numerous new features to enhance the existing community; they'll be hoping that their new features will become as popular as Microsoft's successful Xbox live service.
The statement reads:
"This summer Valve will ship a major update to its online gaming platform Steam, introducing an advanced set of community features to more than 13 million gamers around the world.
"Beginning in July, Steam users can set up their own personal Steam pages and profiles, create and join groups, schedule games with friends, review who they've played with, see how well everyone played, chat with groups, chat via voice, and more. These new community services and features can be used with all Steam games, which include new releases and classic titles from leading publishers and independent developers.
Free of charge, the new community features will be accessible via the Steam desktop client and via the web."
The update will be the largest since Steam began in 2004.
