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

Steam Families

  • Made client settings visible but generally unchangeable when parental settings are applied. Child accounts can request parental access to settings to make changes.
  • Fixed playtime limits sometimes being applied even if “set playtime limits” was not selected in the settings UI.
  • 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.

Friends / Chat

  • Reduced network traffic on connect and reconnect

Steam Input

  • Improved Gyro To Mouse behavior when connected over bluetooth.

Remote Play

  • Added a one time pairing step when streaming from a remote computer
  • The Remote Play Together UI is always available in the Steam overlay for supported games
