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.
Note: This update was re-released to fix the "Automatically Set Resolution" toggle from incorrectly showing when not on the Preview Channel.
It's been great to see all the community activity around custom boot videos, so we made a couple updates to make this a bit easier to do. The new folder location below will be a safer place to save your video files, and they won't be wiped with every Steam update.
Custom boot videos
- Steam Deck will now look for a custom boot video and/or a suspend animation in steamui/overrides/movies/. Please note that you'll need to create this folder first.
- Play custom boot animations in full screen
General
- Fixed issue with startup haptics
Resolution: applies to Preview Channel only
- Added a toggle allowing Steam Deck to automatically control the display resolution for external displays. When toggled on, Steam Deck will automatically adjust the resolution for best performance on higher resolution displays.
