Storage Update
“In combination with single-file disk-cache, this reduces the cache size by ~60%,” the summary on Gitlab says. I emailed Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais to confirm this applied to the shader cache files on the Steam Deck. “That’s our expectation for pre-built shader caches,” he confirmed. Griffais did add that some games won’t see their cache files shrink quite so dramatically, because the update “Won’t change anything for the size of transcoded video depots, which are also marked ‘shader pre-caching’ in the UI.”

So when should we expect this update to arrive? The stable version of Mesa driver 23.1 is expected to land in early May, and we know that SteamOS 3.5 is also on its way soon, including a graphics driver update. I expect these two things will coincide, first in a beta SteamOS release and then in a stable release early this summer. It’s going to be a good season to hang out in a hammock and play your Steam Deck, at least if you’re in the northern hemisphere.

If you expect you’ll still be tight on space even after this update, though, here’s our walkthrough for upgrading your Steam Deck SSD(opens in new tab).

Denuvo gone
Capcom has removed controversial anti-cheat Denuvo from now-iconic horror game Resident Evil Village, mirroring fellow Japanese titan, Square Enix.

According to SteamDB, Denuvo was removed from Resident Evil Village in the early hours of April 10. The change reads “Removed third-Party DRM – Denuvo Anti-tamper, five different PC within a day machine activation limit.”

While this looks like it came out of nowhere, Square Enix also removed Denuvo from hit RPG game Disco Elysium, as well as Triangle Strategy on Thursday, April 6. There’s no confirmation that the two are linked, but it may explain Capcom’s decision.
