In recent years, Steam<\/strong> has been a prominent place for PC gamers to purchase and play games on. However, Valve <\/strong>has encountered much competition with Epic Games<\/strong> in these few months. There have been many renowned companies, such as Rockstar <\/strong>and Ubisoft<\/strong>, that have moved their franchises over to the Epic Games Store<\/strong>. As a result, Valve <\/strong>has seen a decline in users and revenue. But, such competitions are always beneficial for consumers! With the recent update, Valve <\/strong>has included a new feature onto Steam<\/strong>. You can now request for access to the Beta versions of certain games on Steam<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new feature now allows users to play certain games before they are released. Did you want to play an imminent game and see what it feels like? Well, now you can!

With the option to request for access to Beta versions for such games on Steam<\/strong>, users don’t have to waste their internet data or time watching streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
