SteamOS

The next SteamOS beta has been released to the public, and it has some pretty nice fixes and features with it. There's now multi-language support for the screen reader, and it can be manually configured in accessibility settings. We also have improved battery charge time estimates, fixes for volume and audio glitches, and improved support for the Legion Go and ROG Ally. There's also a fix for issues with WiFi and the power and clock limits sometimes getting reset.

You can download the updates yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.
