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

    Wake via Bluetooth isn’t new, the OLED model has always supported it (the LCD doesn’t due to hardware). This just lets you disable it for specific devices that you don’t want to wake the Deck.

      Oh that’s unfortunate. I have the LCD model and didn’t realize it can’t do this due to hardware.
