UI, performance and stability improvements: Valve releases SteamOS 3.3

Yesterday, August 2, developers from Valve company sent a version of the SteamOS operating system with an index of 3.3 to the stable channel – now it will be systematically deployed among all Steam Deck owners and users of this OS around the world. Previously, the same version of the system was available exclusively in the beta testing and inside the update channel, but now the gamer does not need to be a member of the testing program to get all the long-awaited improvements. And there are plenty of them in SteamOS 3.3 – the developers from Valve have improved the sound, the operation of various modes, increased stability and more.

The company team paid special attention to the user interface – now on the Steam Deck console, for example, there is a scheduled night mode function. This is extremely convenient, since the user will not need to put the device into night mode on their own each time. Also, the portable computer will now show notifications when the temperature rises, there is a more convenient adaptive brightness switch, and in the Remote Play mode color reproduction has been significantly improved. Additionally, the developers have improved the keyboard experience in desktop mode and added support for several languages ​​from Asia.

In addition, as expected, the release of SteamOS 3.3 in the stable branch brought many improvements related to the performance and stability of the Steam Deck portable gaming computer. Unfortunately, in the description of the update, Valve does not indicate any numbers, so we will have to wait for tests from the users themselves. Additionally, the company’s employees have updated the graphics driver for integrated graphics, as well as the wireless network driver and firmware for the controller. True, these are the largest updates from the release of SteamOS 3.3 – the official website has a complete list of all the innovations, which you can see personally.
