The Steam client initial download is about 500kB. Please select one of the links below to get started. (If you already have Steam, you don't need to download this installer. Steam will update itself automatically.

I just received a new press release from Doug Lombardi about the topic of the moment:

Steam Dedicated Server Release Tonight; Steam Client Tomorrow

We've been making final changes to the Steam network throughout the night. Unfortunately, it's taken longer than we planned. However, the Steam dedicated server will be released this evening, and the Steam client release is now scheduled for tomorrow.

We're working to get the release out as fast as we can -- sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience.

Do you have to unintall the Steam beta before installing the final version, or will the beta automatically update itself?
