Valve Widens Steam Store Pages to 1,200 Pixels With New Media Views

The update is tuned for narrow windows, even passing tests on an old iPod.

Overview

  • Valve has rolled the wider layout to all users, increasing many store pages from 940 pixels to 1,200 pixels.
  • Higher‑resolution screenshots are now displayed, with new theater and full‑screen modes for images and trailers.
  • Pages automatically scale for smaller displays including tablets, Steam Deck, and mobile devices, though very narrow screens render elements quite small.
  • The change follows August testing in the Steam beta client and builds on July improvements to the trailer player.
  • Valve says similar width adjustments are coming to search, recommendations, tags, charts, and the news hub, with a wider homepage expected soon.
