Another round of Steam Client Beta updates are here with Steam Deck and Desktop PC seeing lots of improvements and bug fixes, and it's especially nice for people using Bluetooth on Steam Deck.

Steam Deck Specific changes:

  • Show battery information for connected Bluetooth devices under Settings->Bluetooth and in the Quick Access menu.
  • Added a per-device toggle to Settings->Bluetooth that controls whether a device is allowed to wake Steam Deck from sleep.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the UI to show stale data for Bluetooth devices.

Rest of the changelog is here and is mostly desktop client improvements

    The bluetooth wakeup sounds nice since my power button refuses to work sometimes

        I use my deck every day whether I’m just half playing an idler or plating something more engaging but my power button is struggling. I’ve done a bunch of the “fix it at home” things so I just hope it doesn’t become completely unusable… I could send it back for repair but then I’d be without my deck for weeks…

          Maybe try this, in desktop mode make sure the SBC-XQ codec is selected for your headphones, it’s night and day difference for me (or can try LDAC if XQ isn’t available)

      I always use it when docked. Important to note that the LCD version does not support Bluetooth wake though.
