Steam May be Planning to Introduce a Game Library Manager
Steam may be planning to introduce a game library manager to make it easier for us to manage the titles installed on our drive.
On Thursday, we informed you about the reports from Pavel Djundik, the creator of SteamDB and Steam Status websites, according to whom Steam is about to introduce changes in the user interface. Now, it turns out that in addition to the new look of the download and settings pages we already wrote about, Valve will offer us a game library manager. It is to replace the existing folders and make it easier to manage installed titles.

On Friday, Djundik informed about another discovery on his Twitter. As you can see in the screenshot above, the new tool shows a list of installed titles along with the size they occupy on disk. Also of note is a simple graph that shows the space on the selected partition, divided into areas occupied by games, DLCs and Steam Workshop content respectively. For comparison, take a look at the graphic presenting the current state of affairs.

We have to admit that the change, although not gigantic, can significantly facilitate the management of titles installed on Steam. Especially if we have the habit of storing them on different disk partitions. Just keep in mind that the above screen probably does not reflect the final appearance of the game library manager, but only the result of work on it so far. What we will actually use may be slightly different from what you see here.
Although we can now group Steam games according to the size of they occupy on the storage, the community gathered on Reddit likes the changes prepared by Valve. Let us know if you like them too.
