SteamOS

A new SteamOS update was released with a chunk of fixes and new support for non-Steam Deck devices. The WiFi regression on Steam Deck OLED has been fixed, while the Legion Go joystick issues and ROG Ally grip buttons and controller input problems have been fixed. There was also some visual corruption that could occur with sharp upscaling on HDR applications when interacting with the overlay, which has been fixed.

You can download the update by going to your System Settings on the Steam Deck and checking for an update.
