We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Beta/Preview channels.
Note: This beta was re-released to fix SteamVR launching unintentionally when Steam is started
General
- Show battery information for connected Bluetooth devices under Settings->Bluetooth and in the Quick Access menu.
- Added a per-device toggle to Settings->Bluetooth that controls whether a device is allowed to wake SteamDeck from sleep.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the UI to show stale data for Bluetooth devices.
- Fixed web browsers showing blank page entries when navigating back
Library
- Fixed app activity feed to refresh more reliably
- Fixed comments sometimes getting lost on achievement unlock events in the app activity feed

- Display a copy count badge on game capsules for games that have more than one copy in a Steam Family.
- Fixed family member names sometimes not displaying while in offline mode or disconnected from Steam.
- Add “date acquired” for games owned by other family members.
