Valve makes huge changes to the Steam Workshop - now more Mobile and Steam Deck friendly

Valve continue making some big changes to the Steam store, with the Steam Workshop getting a Beta with quite a lot of mod browsing improvements. We just recently had the addition of Remote Downloads Management, and the Steam store home page refresh and now it's Steam Workshop's turn in the spotlight.

This is an opt-in update that has a button on the Steam Workshop page "View Workshop Beta", once clicked you can leave the Beta any time with another button.

It comes with all of these improvements:

• Wider page & bigger items - This update makes the browsing page wider, allowing for more items and bigger preview images of each item.
• Faster filtering - We've completely rewritten the page, making it update more quickly when applying filters or changing sort orders.
• Smarter filtering per-section - Filters can now be configured by game developers to apply (and appear) for certain types of items. For Workshops that contain both Maps and Items, developers can define which types each filter should apply to.
• New Quick View - Click the little magnifying glass icon in the corner of each item to enter a quick view mode. Explore some screenshots, click to favorite, subscribe, or vote, all without leaving the browsing experience.
• Mobile and Steam Deck friendly - This new rewrite of the page allows us to better manage the responsiveness of the page for different contexts such as mobile, Steam Deck, and Big Picture mode.

Valve said they aim to keep it in Beta for a while "a few weeks or months", as they react to any feedback to further improve it. Other Steam Workshop pages are planned to be improved too, once they've got the main page firmly sorted.
