A number of the largest are ones we’ve already seen in a September beta, like assist for VRR and HDR exterior shows, the power to tweak your display screen’s shade and undervolt your processor with new firmware, and a graphics driver replace with an enormous efficiency enchancment for Starfield (although it nonetheless seems to be like mud in cities).
However there’s one factor on the checklist I didn’t count on: The replace offers the official $79 Steam Deck Dock the brand new capacity to assist VRR exterior displays itself. (Final I checked, the Steam Deck Dock web page stated “FreeSync support is in-progress, update is forthcoming”.)
Personally, I’m most excited by the power to customise the MangoHud efficiency overlay to indicate what I need it to indicate. For instance, I’d like a minimal model that’s simply FPS, wattage, and battery life remaining.
There’s additionally “slightly improved sleep resume speed,” “Improved Bluetooth connection stability, especially with multiple controllers,” numerous KDE Plasma adjustments to how the Linux desktop mode seems to be and works, and way more.
