After first launching as an experiment in Steam Labs back in March 2020, Steam has today announced the official launch of the new Steam News Hub becoming a full feature of Steam and replacing the previous news feed found at /news. The new Steam News Hub shows posts from the games you play, wish list, follow, or are recommended. Or, if you want to take full control, you can change all that with a few quick setting adjustments in the left-hand menu. Plus, you can choose to follow and receive news from dozens of top gaming news sources across a variety of languages.

Another Steam Labs experiment has graduated from the program and made its way to the regular Steam client.
This latest addition is Steam News Hub, a dedicated space within Steam for its users to find news, updates, and events for the games they ve interacted with on the digital game platform.
It first debuted way back in March as Experiment 009, aiming to offer a personalized feed of news, both from game makers and from Steam News Curators (like Gamasutra!).
As a full Steam feature, a blog post explains the tool aims to offer personalized news right out of the box, but also allow Steam users to customize what info is fed to them and where that info is coming from.
Steam s News Hub is now officially live pcgamesn.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from pcgamesn.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
