Valve is making Steam store pages wider as part of a new update rolling out today. With the changes, “many pages” will be widened from “940 pixels to now 1200 pixels,” Valve says. The company picked that 1200 pixels number because it found that it “felt like a good balance where we can show more content on screen without overwhelming the page and making it hard to navigate.”

If your browser or client window is narrower than 1200 pixels, Valve says that “Steam store pages are designed to shrink appropriately to fit well” and that the pages adapt “to fit on tablets, Steam Decks, and mobile devices.” Valve says it’s even tested the changes “on a tiny old iPod that someone had laying around,” where “it mostly works, but things get pretty small.”

The changes follow Valve’s improvements to the Steam Trailer Player for store pages that it introduced in July, which include a more adaptable UI and reprocessing videos to work better with the new player.
