Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A new stable Steam-Client (09.03.2026) has been released for Linux Desktop and the Steam Deck. Changelog Linux/Desktop client:

Steam Client Update - March 9th A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded. General Added the option to attach hardware specs when writing or updating a Steam User Review on a game’s store page Added the option to provide anonymized framerate data. When enabled Steam will collect gameplay framerate data, stored without connection to your Steam account but identified with the kind of hardware you are playing on. This data will help us learn about game compatibility and improve Steam. This feature is currently in Beta with a focus on devices running SteamOS. Added an icon on tools in the game list with a tooltip to explain what they are. Added notification settings for showing a toast and playing a sound when an achievement is unlocked. Added a warning dialog when a user selects “Tools” in their library filter for the first time that explains what tools are and why they are showing up in the game list. Fixed intermittent error in downloads view when moving game entries between scheduled and queued sections. Fixed displaying TPM and Secure Boot status on Windows in Steam’s System Information dialog when running the 64-bit client. Fixed issue where a game beta/version showed the date for when the beta was assigned, instead of showing the date when the game build was created. Library Installed demos that are no longer playable now show “Uninstall” instead of “Play” as their primary action. Newly added demos and free to play games will appear at the top of the recent games list. Hardware Survey / System Information Fixed an issue where VRAM on some graphics cards was not reported correctly (-1) In the case of multiple display adapters, we now select the one with the most VRAM to display and report to Steam Game Recording Fixed exporting clips for games with names that contain invalid Windows file name characters, such as “?”. Chat Updated the /store command so that it now uses the new Store trailer player. Remote Play Fixed hover behavior when using a tablet stylus. Steam Families Improved setting layout and navigation on desktop, deck and mobile devices. Accessibility Various fixes for high contrast mode Streaming Fixed a case where streaming could leave downloads throttled even after the stream stopped. Linux Fixed a bug that could result in Proton games showing up as “Not valid on current platform” for users with very large libraries when using offline mode. Fixed a bug that could result in Proton games showing up as “Not valid on current platform” for users with very large libraries. Steam Input Added missing buttons to Mode Shift Button selection menu: Left Stick Touch and Right Stick Touch Button Chord Activator’s drop down list of available buttons has been replaced with a multi button selector. This means that newer controllers have full access to extra grip buttons that were previously unlisted. Gyro to Joystick Camera’s Minimum Joystick Output now matches Gyro to Joystick Deflection’s behavior, which is useful for identifying a game’s internal joystick deadzone. Improved input latency while controller rumble is happening on third party controllers. Added option to apply Gyro to Joystick Deflection range remapping and acceleration settings on an Per-Axis or Circular basis. Fixed a bug in Gyro To Joystick Deflection mode where a setting of 0 for Minimum Gyro Deflection, and any non zero Minimum Joystick Output would still result in zero output without a significant amount of gyro deflection. This should help gyro users to dial in games’ internal joystick dead zone size more easily.

Stable Steam Client 21.01.2026 released for Linux Desktop and Steam Deck

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Added a ‘report’ option to the right-click context menu on chat window tabs and profile names in the chat log. This is in addition to the existing ‘report’ option on chat messages. Big Picture Mode When connecting a new controller, the glyphs in the footer will now update immediately instead of after the first input from the controller. Fixed incorrect controller glyph in library filter selection dialog and filter description. Remote Play Fixed resolution being incorrect when streaming to macOS in fullscreen mode. SteamVR Fixed some instances of Dashboard UI elements not appearing. Steam Input Nintendo Switch 2 wired controller support has been re-enabled GameCube adapters in Wii-U mode are not enabled by default, since opening them is exclusive with other applications. You can launch Steam with -enable-libusb-gamecube if you’d like to enable them. Improved handling of issues when a controller disconnects while the controller configurator is open. Added Gyro to Joystick Deflection option: Drag Center Point. When enabled, moving the controller past its maximum deflection angle will drag the center point with it, so that movement back toward the center will immediately register. Added support for the Razer Raiju V3 Pro. Analog Trigger Output is made available in the Trigger Mode select screen for better discoverability. Joystick Mode settings: Added “Response Axis Style” to “Stick Response Curve” options. The Response Curves can be applied in a “Per Axis” or “Circular” fashion. Previously, Joystick Mode only supported “Per Axis” response curves. Generally, Circular is recommended, and is now default. The option will only appear when relevant - when “Stick Response Curve” is not set to “Linear”. Added toggle for Gyro “Smooth Fine Movements”. This filter was necessary for older IMUs which demonstrated a significant amount of resting signal noise, but has become redundant due to the presence of other user tunable filters. It is defaulted to “Off” except in the case of PS4 DualShock controllers. Find it under Settings, Controller, “Calibration & Advanced Settings”. Fixed changes to sliders on the Gyro calibration page not sticking. Fixed an issue with Steam Input API joystick actions not getting As Joystick options for Trackpad/Gyro. Fixed Hori Steam Controller Gyro behavior over Bluetooth.

Stable Steam Client 19.12.2025 released for Linux Desktop and Steam Deck

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

A new stable Steam-Client (19.12.2025) has been released for Linux Desktop and the Steam Deck. Changelog Linux/Desktop client:

Steam Client Update - December 19th A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded. General The Steam client is now 64-bit on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit. Systems running 32-bit versions of Windows will continue receiving updates to the 32-bit Steam client until January 1, 2026. Fixed non-Steam browser windows erroneously being created sometimes when steamwebhelper is restarted. Game Recording Fixed errors copying to clipboard or exporting H265 videos on systems with a NVIDIA 50xx series gpu.

When enabled, this causes button presses to generate releases, and vice versa. Promoted the newer gyro modes from beta to the default gyro modes loaded. Older configuration that are using the older modes will still see the option and you can also enable Steam Input dev mode under Settings->Developer to keep them visible all the time. 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. 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. 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. Fixed a case where the desktop version of the configurator could unexpectedly close when trying to preview a configuration for another game on the Search tab Fixed Dualsense Edge, Xbox Elite, Nintendo JoyCons in paired mode not finding the correct config to edit. 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.

We will test this briefly in beta before shipping as a hotfix to all users. Game Recording Improved performance when recording is on for some games using Vulkan rendering Steam Input Added support for dual gyros when using Nintendo Switch Joycons in combined mode Fixed the “listen for binding” panel in the configurator Fixed the configurator being blank when opening a configuration for an uninstalled game that requires being installed to edit the configuration When authoring an official configuration for a Steam Input API game, use a setting under Settings->Developer instead of relying on the SetInputActionManifestFilePath API call Streaming Fix cases where clicking “stream” did nothing.

Steam Client Update - September 9th A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded. Accessibility Added an accessibility settings menu to desktop mode. It includes features such as: High Contrast mode, Reduced motion settings, UI Scale controls. Added accessibility annotations to many UI components. In-Game Overlay Fixed fonts and UI in the overlay being somewhat fuzzy, aligned unevenly, or appearing over anti-aliased for users with Display Scale (DPI) > 100%. Implement DPI scaling of Performance Monitor display (if you have > 100% display scale, your size will change on update and you may need to adjust it again, this should be a one time inconvenience). Fixed a case where DLSS vs game FPS numbers could be incorrect in some games loading DLSS modules. Fixed some cases where numeric labels in the Performance Monitor display could cut off their last digit when drawing. Fixed Performance Monitor hot-key changes while in-game not immediately taking effect. Performance improvement for Vulkan overlay rendering (most obvious when Performance Monitor FPS chart rendering). Performance improvement for Open GL overlay rendering in games using the Open GL shader pipeline (again most obvious when Performance Monitor FPS chart rendering, this fix doesn’t impact old games using the Open GL fixed function pipeline). Performance monitor and general overlay rendering performance significantly improved in some D3D12 titles that are at times CPU bound and use high async rendering. Fixed Performance Monitor rendering on macOS if certain fonts are not available. Performance monitor FPS numbers improved to not overcount by 1 frame in certain vsync or frame rate capped scenarios. Performance Monitor now supports CPU temperature on Windows and Linux, on Windows this requires a kernel mode driver, and there is an option to disable if you don’t want that. The driver is only installed and running when Performance Monitor is visible at full CPU detail levels and only if you don’t disable the driver in the In-Game settings. Adjusted Performance Monitor GPU Utilization measurement on Windows+NVIDIA GPUs to closer match some other tools. This will again shift the number to match task manager less, but match some other tools measurements more closely. The percentage you see will not change in many games, but may now show higher utilization in some games. See our Performance Monitor FAQ for more info on how we measure. Fixed game overview window failing to load if there is an issue loading data for popular or favorite guides. Big Picture Fixed 8BitDo controller guide button showing the Xbox logo.

Added the percentage of the transfer remaining to the Steam Cloud upload/download text in the library. General Added a notification for when a trade is reversed via Trade Protection Added the ability to filter by Private games in dynamic collections or filtered app views. Added a Customization tab to game properties. The Customization tab allows users to view and set custom artwork for the game and set a custom sort title that will be used instead of the actual title when sorting games in the library. Improved presentation of private apps in the client while offline. Improved robustness of collection storage. Modified Notification Settings to be clearer about which notifications will show toasts/play sounds when toasts are globally disabled. Store menu - fixed blur issue for users with GPU acceleration turned off Store menu - Top Genres should now be more relevant and dynamic Store menu - added Store Home link Store menu - Search drop down now marks search results as: in library, on wishlist, in cart, ignored, and excluded by preferences.

Fixed game downloads not starting if user is subscribed to a controller configuration that is not available anymore. Fixed Steam Deck compatibility and controller compatibility dropdowns in collection filter edit pane not updating if their corresponding filter was removed from the top bar. Fixed logo positioning tool allowing drag outside of the bounds of the background image and fixed hitching animation. Fixed an issue with deleting screenshots from the focused screenshot view briefly showing an error and potentially navigating the user away from their screenshots Fixed friends list window remaining open in Steam overlay when switching between desktop and Big Picture Mode. Fixed modal dialogs opening behind the window displaying them. Fixed an issue that could cause library, collections, or shelves to fail to load for some users.

Steam Input Added support for games that use the GameInput API. Added support for analog activators on d-pad modes for joysticks and trackpads. Added support for the PDP REALMz Wireless Controller for Switch Fixed the controller configuration opening as a popup window rather than in the desktop overlay when a game invokes in the in-game API to show the controller configuration screen. Improved detection of FlyDigi Apex and Vader controllers. Fixed GameCube controllers getting PlayStation button prompts. Fixed gamepad input for browser-based games on Windows Fixed the controller configuration opening in the main Big Picture Mode window instead of the overlay when a game invokes in the in-game API to show the controller configuration screen. Fixed an issue where editing commands on an input bound to a modeshift could duplicate bindings. Fixed a case where 8bitdo controllers in Steam mode could have multiple devices show up if Steam Input was disabled globally for a game. Fixed a case where Xbox and Playstation controllers could be duplicated when Steam Input is enabled. No longer open Big Picture Mode on Guide button press when guide button chording is disabled in controller settings. The Steam/Guide buttons on controllers will now toggle the visibility of the desktop overlay. Speculative fix for rare crash when using gyro modes. Game Recording Improved playback of high bitrate recordings Fixed the player pausing when seeking near the end of a game recording or clip.

UPDATE: SteamOS 3.4 (inkl. Hotfixes 3.4.1 und 3.4.2) released, disables hardware de- and encoding

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The long-awaited update to SteamOS 3.4 (incl. hotfixes 3.4.1 and 3.4.2) for the Steam Deck was released today in the “stable” channel. Unfortunately, besides all the nice improvements, there is also a less nice change: hardware de- and encoding (for video streams) has been disabled with this update. This means that, for example, streaming FROM or TO the Steam Deck is now done exclusively in software (with corresponding effects on the CPU and battery). If and when this change will be reversed is currently unknown. More informationen: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/903 https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/eventcomments/3727323242807343433 https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/0/3541546590709961979/ UPDATE The Hotfix 3.4.2 seems to have reverted this change.
