A new, small Steam Deck Beta Client update was released yesterday, and it includes a couple of nice improvements. Library filters now support filtering by the language of the games and their accessibility features, and a new toggle for Smooth Fine Movements for gyro controls has been added, which was necessary to reduce resting signal noise for older IMUs.

You can download the update yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.

Steam Deck Beta Client 1/20/26 Update Changelog:

Library

• Library filters now supports filtering by language and accessibility features

Steam Input

• Added toggle for Gyro "Smooth Fine Movements". This filter was necessary for older IMUs which demonstrated a significant amount of resting signal noise, but has become redundant due to the presence of other user tunable filters. It is defaulted to "Off" except in the case of PS4 DualShock controllers. Find it under Settings, Controller, "Calibration & Advanced Settings".
