Beginning in July, Steam users can set up their own personal Steam pages and profiles, create and join groups, schedule games with friends, review who they've played with, see how well everyone played, chat with groups, chat via voice, and more. Free of charge, the new community features will be accessible via the Steam desktop client and via the web.
