A hefty stable Steam Deck update gives the Dock a brand-new feature

Some of the biggest ones are ones we’ve seen before in a September betalike support for VRR and HDR external displays, the ability to change your screen color and power up your CPU with new firmware, and a graphics driver update with a big performance boost for Star Field (even if it’s always it looks like mud in the cities).

But there’s one thing on the list that I didn’t expect: the update makes the official price $79. Steam bridge dock the new ability to support VRR external monitors itself. (Last time I checked, the Steam Deck Dock page said “FreeSync support is in progress, update is coming.”)

Personally, I’m very excited about the ability to customize MangoHud’s performance overlay to show what I want it to show. For example, I would like a minimal version that only contains FPS, power and remaining battery life.

There’s also “slightly improved speed of resuming from sleep”, “improved Bluetooth connection stability, especially with multiple controllers”, many KDE Plasma changes to the way Linux desktop mode looks and works, and much more. Moreover.
