a new steam update is here and it comes with what im prepared to call the single most useful feature ever added to a gaming platform ingame notes and web browser overlaysokay yes thats pretty mundane on paper but most useful things are with the new update the steam overlay now features a bunch of widgets including a builtin notes app and web browser the cool part is that you can pin any of these windows forcing them to stay visible ingame even when you close the overlay you can even set the transparency of a pinned window so it can remain visible without obscuring the actionthat means you can say pin a guide to to remain visible as you play so you dont have to keep alttabbing back and forth or keep glancing at a second screen to see the information you need id also love to have something like the notes widget running as i continue to trundle through zelda tears of the kingdom dropping a visible reminder to go back and grab that korok seed before i get distracted by a dozen other activities would be extremely useful for me this stuff is way better than other major platformdriven innovations like xbox quick resume you can get a brief overview of how it all works in the video above or get a detailed breakdown of all the other changes in this update over on the steam blog perhaps the most notable additional detail is that the notification menu has been revamped so that the green bell only lights up when theres truly something new for you fellow notification obsessors take heart our needs have been recognizedthis update has been in beta for some time but is now available on the main steam client and the steam deckcheck out the best pc games if you want a reason to take these features for a test spin
