Valve has released a new client update for the Steam Deck that adds a couple of addition and fixes to the device. The major one detailed in the patch notes is definitely the update to the device’s offline mode which no longer requires players to restart Steam in order to get into the mode.
It isn’t just about the Steam Deck’s offline mode, the update also adds Steam button support for the equivalent on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers. Some changes also include a new section to app properties that allow users to provide Steam Deck Compatibility feedback and a fix to the collection detail view in the library where now clicking ‘B’ brings players back to the ‘All’ collection view.
Check out the full patch notes for a more detailed look at all the additions and fixes. As for future Steam Deck owners, Valve announced on Twitter it has started shipping out Q2 reservations which are expected to ramp up following the announcement.
