We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

Note: This update was re-released to fix a regression causing a client crash.

General

• On the Bluetooth settings screen, we will now detect and notify the player when trying to pair/connect an Xbox controller with older firmware versions that cannot properly connect to Steam Deck. To fix these issues you must connect the controller to a Windows PC and update the firmware via the Xbox Accessories App.

Accessibility

• Moved the Screen Reader's "Stop Talking" button to X so that external gamepads can still open the Quick Access Menu with Guide button + their equivalent of A button

Friends & Chat

• Suspicious or harassing group chat messages can be reported directly in the chat window by selecting the message and pressing 'Options'. You can optionally block and/or unfriend the other user while submitting the report.

Remote Play

• Fixed being unable to move the mouse to another monitor when using touch controls on the Steam Link app.

General

• Fixed news items not updating in the "What's New" tab on the Home screen

Steam Input

• Fix a case where configurations edits/changes to selected configurations would fail to save

• Fix some cases where configuration files could show as blank when opening them

• Fix PlayStation controller LED colors sometimes failing to update in the personalization menu

• Fixed Gyro to Joystick Deflection: Lock Extents not working as intended.

• Fixed Gyro to Joystick Deflection: Some combinations of "Relative Roll" and "Relative Pitch" toggles resulted in zero joystick output.

• Gyro to Joystick Deflection: "Relative Roll" and "Relative Pitch" toggles are only available if a Gyro Activation Button is selected, because the angles are relative to the pose of the controller each time the Gyro is activated.

Steam Input

• Fixed Dualsense Edge, Xbox Elite, Nintendo JoyCons in paired mode not finding the correct config to edit.

• Adjusted Dualsense "Create" and "Options" glyphs for better recall.

• In all Gyro Modes, when selecting multiple gyro activation buttons, you can also choose whether "Any" or "All" buttons are required to Enable/Suppress/Toggle the gyro.

• Gyro Haptic On/Off effect is now separated from Gyro Haptic Rotation Effect.

• Added an "Invert Input" toggle in "Regular Press" activator settings. When enabled, this causes button presses to generate releases, and vice versa.

• Gyro to Joystick Deflection Mode: Added "Use Relative Roll" & "Use Relative Pitch" toggles. When enabled, this makes the output Joystick deflection relative to the controller's pose since the Gyro's activation. i.e. turning on the gyro will always center the stick output. When disabled, the deflection angle is absolute vs. the controller's gravity sensor. Previously this was only possible for "Pitch" (old name: "World Auto Tilt"), but it's now available for Roll as well.
