Community Market gets a major overhaul

In the latest public beta for Steam, Valve has completely overhauled the community market to implement various quality of life changes. Item listings now have a bigger view with in-game images accurately representing the state of the item up for sale. A cascading view compliments the feature by allowing one to seamlessly preview different variations of the in-game item.

A dynamic search feature now facilitates filtering out items by applied accessories. In Counter-Strike 2's case, players can search for weapons with specific stickers or charms applied. Item properties such as wear/float and charm templates are displayed along with the listing. Different finishes for an item are now unified, allowing players to switch between Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-tested, Well-worn and Battle-scarred by moving through tabs at the bottom of the screen.

Here's a quick overview of what has changed on the Counter-Strike side of things:

• Listings: In-game previews attached, wear/float details added

• Grouped items: Tab-based navigation for weapon finishes

• Graphs: More detailed

• Search: Accessory-based (stickers, charms, etc.) filtering enabled

The community market overhaul update is still in beta and can be opted out manually.
