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

    I think the device needs to support battery reporting right?

    Hopefully great for Xbox Controllers. Anyone happen to have a screenshot of how it looks?

      I’ll check it when I get home if no one else has. I know the Decky plugins controller tools worked for checking the battery in my stadia controllers before, so I’m hoping this will have replaced the need for that plugin.
