Valve has already released the latest version of the modified Linux-based operating system for testing.
The Steam Deck doesn’t come with Windows, like the Asus ROG Ally, Legion, Lenovo Go, or Ayaneo devices (we reported on all of them; last time we wrote about the Ayaneo Flip, which looks like a Nintendo DS on the outside, but when you open the lid, a small keyboard also awaits us ). Valve mentioned on Steam that it will soon make SteamOS 3.5 available to everyone for its operating system, which promises to be an exciting update.
Valve has reconsidered the primary colors for the Steam Deck and now uses sRGB as the primary color. This means that by default we get a warmer and more vibrant color scheme. Go to Settings – Set Display Colors, you can also adjust it there. You’ll also receive a test image, or you can try out how to edit it in the currently running game. You can also revert to the previous settings, or you can switch to a brighter color scheme, but this can be detrimental to the gradation.
Gamers who use external monitors can also rejoice, because with SteamOS 3.5 it is possible to use HDR and VRR (larger dynamic color gamut and variable image refresh rate). All that’s needed to make this happen is that our monitor and our USB-C adapter support them. By connecting to a sufficiently modern monitor or TV, we can get a more serious and beautiful experience. The device recovers faster from sleep, the orientation of touchscreens on external displays has improved, and external displays are more expandable. We can also use dilation and zoom scaling on external displays to handle different aspect ratios. Valve has also improved latency when the app becomes slower than the screen refresh rate.
There was also a long-standing bug that was fixed by Valve. Because of this, some programs severely throttled Steam Deck’s CPU performance unless we decided to turn off SMT. We are always happy with these updates and bug fixes! Oh, and it’s also been optimized for Starfield…
