Steam Deck News

Note: This update is for the Steam Deck Beta and Preview channels, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > Steam Update Channel.

General

• Fixed onscreen keyboard not visible in-game when opened with gamepad
  

Steam Input

• Gyro Calibration UI: Gyro rotation readings are displayed to help diagnose drift issues.
  
• Autocalibration of Gyro Drift has been reworked. After the initial calibration, setting down a controller on a stable surface silently recalculates drift compensation within a few seconds. Movement Threshold values can be manually tweaked - useful if you notice drift re-appear when the controller is in hand.
  

Deck Desktop

• Fixed Steam Chat window scaling
  
• Fixed onscreen keyboard windows refusing to close
  
• Fixed regression where some Remote Play Together dialogs no longer worked
