Valve released a new Steam Deck Beta Client update for February 14th, showing the love to battery life with a little extra juice. You need to be on the Preview / Beta channel to receive the update for testing.
Here’s what’s changed:
General
Fixed an error on the Downloads page when a Free to Play game is removed during installation.
Steam Input
Reduced polling rate while the Steam Frame Limiter is active to save additional power. This can save up to 6% on battery life when running at 30fps in a low-power game like HL2.
Fixed an error on the virtual menu settings when bound to gyro.
Great to see the Steam Deck just keeps on improving so many things years after release. That’s one of the benefits of the Steam Deck compared with other hardware, Valve just keep on pushing out those updates.
