Steam Deck Logo

A new Steam Deck Beta Client update was released that fixes a couple of issues and adds new support. Alerts will now show up on the Steam Deck correctly, while the Quick Access menu should now align correctly when in-game. We also have support for the newest version of GameInput, and a new "Connect" button has been added to Remote Play settings for streaming.

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.
