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

    Per-device Bluetooth wake is huge for me! My main earbuds have Multi-Service Support and if I forget to turn off Bluetooth on my deck it always wakes up when I take the buds out for something else

      Same, recently on a work trip I finally got in to my hotel and found my steam deck hot and on 1% battery. My headphones had woken it from sleep earlier in the day and it had sat there burning itself away. This is great news.
