Valve has for the platform Steam several improvements on offer. The interface will change soon and on top of that a better search system for the shop has been introduced. The best thing about it: You can already try out one feature.

Optimized search lets you filter by developers and tags
What has been improved? You can now filter for specific items on the Steam Shop page. There is now a direct search for tags, developers and publishers, and you can also search for specific categories or filter out “Early Access” games.

When is the Steam update coming? No date is known yet. However, you can already try out the improvements with the Steam beta client. It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for the updates to be distributed to everyone.
