Steam Updates Groups, Enhances Content Management

Valve has announced more new updates to the Steam Community, making changes to group pages as well as how users manager their uploaded content. Valve says that over 2.5 million groups have been created, and their pages will now receive an entirely new layout, adding a group overview, friend showcase and new group discussions.

Discussions can be public or private and users will have “complete moderator control” over their own groups, including the ability to create sub-forums, add moderators and delete posts. Groups can also list their favorite games and a default language can be set.

Valve has also added a new way to keep track of screenshots, replays, videos linked from YouTube, workshop Items and Workshops on your profile page. All content will be available for users to display or manage, with an image wall that will offer multiple ways to view your uploaded screenshots. Players will also be able to favorite screenshots in order to find them later or share them with friends.

Today is the third day of a week’s worth of Community updates that Valve is rolling out this week. The first update came on Monday with the introduction of Game Hubs. For more details about all of the new features, check out the Steam Community’s official site.

DayZ Surpasses 900,000 Unique Users

According to the official DayZ website, the insanely popular ArmA II zombie survival mod has continued to be insanely popular. At the time of this post the total number of unique users now numbers 936,156, a rise of over 500,000 since we last covered the game's user base earlier this month.

No doubt part of this comes from the recent Steam Summer Sale, which ArmA II: Combined Operations was predictably a part of. It's no surprise that Combined Operations still sits in the top of the Steam sales charts, currently occupying the number two slot right behind the recently released Orcs Must Die! 2.

At this point it seems inevitable that DayZ will pass 1,000,000 users, but until that happens, why not tide yourself over with our latest preview?
