A new update for both the Steam Deck Client stable and beta branches was released today, and they are both great. The stable client fixes some issues, like multiple prompts to install an update, and the battery charge limit option showing on devices that don't support it. The beta adds two new in-game keyboard shortcuts, as well as improves the Steam client installation speed, so we should be able to install future updates faster.

Steam Deck Client 6/2/25 Update Changelog:

General

• Fixed a rare case that could result in multiple prompts to install the same update.
• Fixed a rare case that could result in re-triggering the out of box wizard.
• Fixed the 'Battery Charge Limit' option showing on devices that currently don't support this feature.
• Fixed events showing blurred images in the library for games with adult content.
