Steam Deck Gets its Best Update in a LOOOOOONG Time
Steam Deck owners rejoice, for Valve has bestowed us with many gifts in the most recent SteamOS preview update, taking it to version 3.6.0. There are plenty of fixes and added features to enjoy, along with a graphics driver update that promises "many performance and correctness improvements".
The OS itself has been moved to a more recent Arch Linux base, with an update to the Linux kernel too. I thought I'd lead with the most exciting bits. Ah just kidding, there's a whole host of fixes including improved pairing with Apple AirPods, improved Bluetooth connection speeds, better performance and stability in high memory use scenarios, and the added ability to wake the device from sleep with Bluetooth devices.
The graphics card driver has been updated to Mesa 24.1, which according to the release notes delivers many performance improvements. I had a drive around some of the more demanding areas in Cyberpunk 2077 and did notice that the frame rate appeared to be a little less stutter-prone than previous, although of course this is no magic bullet fix that turns your Deck into an RTX 4090-like monster.
Still, any performance improvements, I will take. Those of you that fancy pushing the hardware to its limits will be pleased to find overclocking controls added to the BIOS for the Steam Deck LCD, and you can now set the SD card as the default boot device, which should keep tinkerers happy.
Speaking of LCDs, there's been a few software improvements to the screen, too. Display uniformity should be improved with Mura Compensation, which is designed to help mitigate the dreaded "Mura effect", a common issue with LCD displays exposed to high temperatures over time in which the displayed image can look unintentionally grainy.
I never noticed the issue personally on my Deck, but if yours has been suffering this should hopefully minimise the effect. There's also improved display colour balance at lower brightness levels, which should make things look better with the screen turned down to maximise battery life.
In desktop mode you now get thumbnail previews for videos in the file browser, and the Deck Dock—a name I love to say out loud—gets some intriguing HDMI CEC features too, including TV remote input, TV wake up, and TV input switching. There's also some compatibility fixes for high refresh rate VRR displays.
ROG Ally X Revealed… Kind of
The Asus ROG Ally was the first true Steam Deck challenger; while I’d argue it fell a little short, it legitimately improved the state of affordable Windows handheld gaming with its plugged-in performance boosts and smooth variable refresh rate screen. Now, Asus is beginning to reveal its successor: the ROG Ally X.
Don’t call it an Ally 2: when it ships in the second half of the year, the Windows-based Ally X will have the same AMD Z1 Extreme chipset and the same 7-inch 48–120Hz VRR screen. It’s not quite like the Steam Deck OLED, where Valve got AMD to revise its chip for better battery life and stability and added a larger, brighter, gorgeous new OLED panel with improved response time and slimmer bezels.
But the newly black-colored handheld will have a substantial battery life improvement, Asus SVP Shawn Yen tells The Verge — because Asus will cram a substantially larger battery pack into the Ally X’s revised shell. “We’re not looking at 30 to 40 percent more capacity,” he tells me. “We’re looking at way more than that.”
