SteamOS

A new SteamOS beta was released yesterday and it is a small one overall, but those who use Bluetooth controllers and peripherals are going to be very happy. The new SteamOS 3.6.10 Beta update fixes four different issues: 2 for Bluetooth and 2 for Display bugs. There were two issues where some controllers were causing session crashes and disconnects, but those are now fixed. Then, an issue where the internal display would remain blank after disconnecting an external display and an issue where the refresh rate wouldn't apply immediately were both fixed.

You can try out this SteamOS beta update by swapping to the Beta or Preview branch of your Steam Deck Update Channel in System Settings.

SteamOS 3.6.10 Beta Update Changelog:

  • Fixed an issue where Bluetooth peripherals would disconnect on session switch

Display

  • Fixed an issue where the internal display could remain blank after disconnecting an external display
