Steam mis à jour : Broadcast en Big Picture et moins de bugs

Une grosse mise à jour pour Steam est sortie mardi. Les changements ne sont pas révolutionnaires mais restent plutôt nombreux. Des modifications déjà proposées sur la version bêta de la plateforme de Valve ont été intégrées à la version « classique ». Tout le monde peut donc désormais suivre un broadcast même lorsqu'on utilise Steam en mode Big Picture et les pages « Matériel » du Steam Store peuvent désormais être consultées en mode Big Picture également.

Notons également que désormais seule la dernière version du Steam controller est supportée en mode Big Picture.
