One of these new exciting features that Valve implemented in a recent Steam Client Beta release is the revamp of the chat functionality by adding new friends list, chat, and voice chat features. Additionally, Valve added optional balloon and icon for announcing new Steam features and blog updates. Another exciting new feature coming to the Steam Client is Generic Gamepad support, which landed in the latest Steam Client Beta update today enabling support for more than 100 popular game controllers, which can now be used in Steam Input without having to first bind each input.
