Steam Deck News

We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

General

• Fixed game resolution overrides failing to apply for non-steam games.
  

Steam Input

• Added Output Icons to all Mode/Behavior dropdown menus. These indicate if the mode (by default) generates OS Mouse output, XInput (controller) Output, Steam Input API Action Output, or is a remapping tool/Overlay Menu (Touch, Radial, Hotbar).

• Steam Input API Analog Actions can now optionally be used "... (via Gyro To Mouse)" (default is still "As Mouse" or "As Joystick Mouse" depending on source).
  
• Fix rare issue where Gyro Processing occurred before controller type is established.
  
• Fix for Track Pad as Button Behavior not displaying any glyphs.
