Steam Deck Client Update: January 21st

✇Steam
22 Januari 2026 om 00:45

We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Stable channel.

General

  • When connecting a new controller, the glyphs in the footer will now update immediately instead of after the first input from the controller

  • Reworked the Application Properties -> Betas UI.

  • Fixed certain games using Steam DRM exiting unexpectedly, including Mafia II and Football Manager 2012.

  • Fixed missing registry key error when running Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead.

  • Fixed a case where the 'Format SD Card' would remain greyed out after a microsd card is inserted.

  • Fixed incorrect controller glyph in library filter selection dialog and filter description.

  • Fixed Steam client hang when a Nacon PS4 Compact Controller is connected.

  • Fixed an error when trying to pair the SteamDeck devkit tool to a SteamDeck.

Library

  • Library filters now supports filtering by language and accessibility features.

Friends & Chat

  • Other members of public group chats that you are a member of can no longer send you direct messages by default.

  • You can now toggle the ability for group chat members that you are not friends with to direct message you in the 'Permissions' section of each group chat's settings.

Desktop Mode

  • Added display of selected store tags to app filter/collection dialog.

Steam Input

  • Nintendo Switch 2 wired controller support has been re-enabled.

  • Improved handling of issues when a controller disconnects while the controller configurator is open.

  • Added Gyro to Joystick Deflection option: Drag Center Point. When enabled, moving the controller past its maximum deflection angle will drag the center point with it, so that movement back toward the center will immediately register.

  • Added support for the Razer Raiju V3 Pro.

  • Analog Trigger Output is made available in the Trigger Mode select screen for better discoverability.

  • Joystick Mode settings: Added "Response Axis Style" to "Stick Response Curve" options. The Response Curves can be applied in a "Per Axis" or "Circular" fashion. Previously, Joystick Mode only supported "Per Axis" response curves. Generally, Circular is recommended, and is now default. The option will only appear when relevant - when "Stick Response Curve" is not set to "Linear".

  • Added toggle for Gyro "Smooth Fine Movements". This filter was necessary for older IMUs which demonstrated a significant amount of resting signal noise, but has become redundant due to the presence of other user tunable filters. It is defaulted to "Off" except in the case of PS4 DualShock controllers. Find it under Settings, Controller, "Calibration & Advanced Settings".

  • Fixed changes to sliders on the Gyro calibration page not sticking.

  • Fixed an issue with Steam Input API joystick actions not getting As Joystick options for Trackpad/Gyro.

  • Fixed Hori Steam Controller Gyro behavior over Bluetooth.

                            We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

                            General

                            • Fixed regression causing certain client popup browser windows failing to load.

                            Steam Input

                            • Analog Trigger Output is made available in the Trigger Mode select screen for better discoverability.

                            • Joystick Mode settings: Added "Response Axis Style" to "Stick Response Curve" options. The Response Curves can be applied in a "Per Axis" or "Circular" fashion. Previously, Joystick Mode only supported "Per Axis" response curves. Generally, Circular is recommended, and is now default. The option will only appear when relevant - when "Stick Response Curve" is not set to "Linear".

                            Steam Community Awards - Second Edition Now Available

                            ✇Steam
                            14 Januari 2026 om 00:49

                            Today's Steam update launches an entirely new set of 12 Community Awards you can choose from to show your appreciation for the reviews, guides, forum posts, and other community content posted by folks in the community. This update also makes a few changes to how Community Awards work and how many Steam Points they cost. Read on for details.

                            (Need a primer on how Steam Community Awards work? See Community Awards instructions)

                            Second Edition: 12 beautiful new awards

                            This update retires the set of awards that have been around since the beginning of the Community Awards program. We're replacing them with this fresh new set of 12 awards, lovingly illustrated and animated for maximum gratification when giving and receiving!

                            Just as before, you can purchase these awards using your Steam Points (earned by buying games), and use them in Steam Community to show your appreciation for things like user reviews, forum posts, guides, screenshots, artwork, Workshop mods, or even directly on your buddy's Steam profile. 

                            New: Awards no longer transfer points

                            When we originally created Steam Community Awards, the idea was for them to not only look cool but to also grant a small number of Steam Points to the recipient, meaning they could be used as a tip of sorts for people who create and share amazing content with the Steam Community. However, we found that this encouraged and rewarded a narrow set of attention-grabbing content and didn't allow the focus to be as much on a broader pool of thoughtful, well-considered creative content. 

                            Because of this, we're refocusing the system: The Second Edition of Steam Community Awards won't transfer points. Instead, the goals of the system will be solely about conveying the appreciation of the viewer to the content creator, and as a signal to others that someone appreciated the piece of content.

                            Any pending point transfers will complete like normal, but new award applications will not convey points.

                            Awards now all cost the same number of Steam Points

                            We've also made Community Awards all cost the same number of Steam Points, making it less confusing to choose an appropriate reaction. Now each Community Award costs 500 Steam Points.

                            Profile Showcase counts up your awards

                            The new Second Edition Community Awards will be included in the Awards Showcase that you can add to your Steam Profile. 

                            If you want to show off the fact that you are generous in your giving of awards, or how much appreciation you've received for the cool stuff you've created, the Community Awards showcase features both of those numbers. This number will include all awards given and received, whether they were First Edition or Second Edition.

                            To add this showcase to your profile, visit your Edit Profile page (https://steamcommunity.com/my/edit/info)

                            Frequently Asked Questions

                            Q. I've got 3,141,592,653,589 Steam Points. What do I do with them all?

                            A. Show your appreciation for the fine content shared in the Steam Community by giving Community Awards. Each time you see a user review, forum post, guide, screenshot, artwork or other Steam community post, click the little AWARD icon and select a thematically-appropriate award to grant that content.

                            Or visit the Steam Points Shop and get cool items to deck out your Steam Community profile, get cool stickers and emoticons to spiff up your conversations, unlock new profile showcases, or level up the Seasonal Badge.

                            Q. Do Community Awards impact the sort order of content?

                            A. Nope. User generated content posted to Steam is typically ordered by how recent it is or by the number of helpful votes it has received. The number or type of Steam Community Awards applied to a piece of content does not cause that content to appear higher or lower on lists. Though we expect that a piece of content with a bunch of awards may be more likely to catch your eye, and thus may get more helpful ratings indirectly.

                            Q. What happened to my favorite Community Award?

                            A. The Second Edition set of Community Awards is intentionally a smaller set of awards, each one meaning something distinct from the others. This set is designed to make it quicker and easier to choose and keep the vibes positive.

                            The First Edition awards cannot be granted anymore.

                            Q. Is there a Second Edition badge?

                            A. First Edition series of Community Awards had two associated badges, the Community Contributor and Community Patron badges, which leveled up with each award given or received. These badges will remain on profiles that had granted or received First Edition Community Awards, but will not include Second Edition awards. If you are looking to count up the number of awards that you have given or received, you can find that count by visiting your Awards Summary page.
