Steam Deck News

The Steam Deck Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

General

• Steam developers can now select which Steam for Linux runtime to use for native titles. Please consult the partner site for more details.
  
• Native titles will execute in 'Steam for Linux runtime 1.0 (scout)' by default, instead of the legacy runtime environment.
  This behavior is consistent with Steam Deck and promotes better compatibility across all Linux desktop distributions.
  Note that this new feature can be turned off globally with "-compat-force-slr off" on the Steam client command line.
  

Steam Input

• Always show the controller tab in app properties for non-Steam shortcuts
  
• Added Invert X and Invert Y to Mouse Regions
  
• Scroll Wheel mode can now be chosen from the dropdown in SIAPI games (Inside of Edit Loadout, not Quick Settings)
  

The Steam Deck Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

General

• Fixed a case where the Bluetooth settings tab would disappear if the system was in sleep mode for an extended period of time and resumed without an internet connection.
  
• Re-enabled remote install from Steam client via the streaming dropdown.
  

Steam Input

• Fixed an issue where bindings that were present from converting a configuration from one controller type to another could be active but not removable due to being filtered out of the binding interface.
  

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 > System Update Channel.
