💦 FULL SET: Workshop/browse - Full Gallery 2025

Today we've updated the Steam Workshop to make the browsing experience quicker and easier to use. The new user interface is available as an opt-in beta, which you can enable by clicking on the "View Workshop Beta" on any Workshop browse page (the pages with grids of items to explore).

This update is geared around making the browsing and filtering experience faster and easier to use.

• 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.

The Steam Workshop remains a heavily used part of the Steam Community: to date, there are over 3,000 games with Workshop enabled with a combined total of over 50 million items uploaded. Millions of players regularly subscribe to and vote on items. While we've added features and updated the Workshop over the years, we felt it was time to make some bigger improvements to the overall user experience. Through that lens, the Browse page was at the top of the list. Millions of users browse the Steam Workshop every month, and there are dozens of ways to interact with the user interface while doing it. Unfortunately, most interactions with the page required a full page reload, which significantly slowed down the browsing process.

Q. How long will this be in beta?

A. We're aiming to run this update as a beta for a few weeks or months as we sort out the bugs and respond to your feedback. This browse page was used in a lot of different ways across all the games that support Workshop, and we want to make sure it can handle all of these use cases.

Q. Do you plan to update other pages in the Workshop?

A. Yes, but we don't have an exact timeline for when. Once we wrap up this beta of the browsing page, we'll have a better idea of scope of work for subsequent pages.
