We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Stable channel.
Note: This update was re-released November 18th and November 21st with the following additional changes:
Disabled internal Chromium Embedded Framework services that utilize Google API integration. These were enabled by a configuration change required to continue updating the Steam Chromium framework but are not necessary for usage in Steam.
Fixed some client and overlay popups not saving position when moved.
Fixed intermittent Steam client reload after entering payment details in Steam store checkout
Display-Off Low Power Downloads
Added a new feature, allowing Steam Deck to complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode before going to sleep.
This feature is enabled by default when Steam Deck is plugged in to power, and can also be enabled on battery power in Settings > Power.
Learn more about this feature at our blog post here.
