SteamOS 3.5
Steam OS 3.5 Upcoming changes
Updated: May 4
We have been poking around Steam OS 3.5 thanks to some tip-offs from the community and found some interesting updates, including HDR, saturation controls, overlay changes, and music controls.
Now, not all of these may be specific to Steam OS 3.5, some have been spotted in preview channels as well and there is no guarantee on the timeline of when and if these channels will hit the Stable channel (Stable is the default for all users)
HDR
In docked mode (the Steam Deck screen doesn’t support HDR), if you have a HDR compatible screen, you can turn on HDR from the Steam Deck Display settings or the performance quick menu
Non-HDR content (such as the deck OS screens) also has a brightness control as enabling HDR mode also seems to create the effect of Auto HDR similar to that on the Series S/X Xbox consoles.
Allowing you to have the effect of HDR in games that don’t have specific HDR enablement like Tales of Arise. it can be a bit aggressive and you can tune the brightness in the Advanced display settings
Overlay Changes
The performance overlay level 2 is getting a bit of an overhaul, with the battery and FPS swapping places, Gamescope becoming just FPS and the return of VRAM
New Level 2 performance overlay
Saturation
Goodbye VibrantDeck, hello built-in saturation controls, you may have seen it in the above display settings but it’s also being added to the Display Quick menu under brightness
By default, the saturation is applied in the middle, which is actually an enhancement over the current stock version, which is the equivalent to turning the slider all the way to the left
The biggest enhancement for this over VibrantDeck, is these saturation levels also work while docked, so you can adjust the saturation level depending on your screen from the Deck.
Plugged in Deck
Valve has not released any concrete statements on whether or not it is safe to leave your Steam Deck plugged in overnight. However, according to the users on the Steam Deck forums, the general consensus answer is “Yes, but don’t make a habit of it.”
Like other similar portable electronics, the way the Steam Deck’s battery recharges is that it powers up to 100%, then internally disables the power cable connection. That connection stays disabled until the battery percentage decreases on its own to 90%, after which the connection starts back up. If you leave the Steam Deck plugged in like this for long stretches, i.e. overnight, it’s going to do that little back and forth over and over for hours on end. That kind of short-span charging and depletion will cause unnecessary wear and tear on the battery, shortening its overall lifespan.
Naturally, the usage of the battery will depend on what you’re actually doing with the Steam Deck. For instance, if you’re actively using it while it’s plugged in, then the console will just draw power from the outlet, and the battery won’t be affected. If you’re planning on leaving the console for multiple days, though, then you should unplug it and power it down completely. Generally speaking, if you’re going to use your Steam Deck multiple days back-to-back, just leave it in sleep mode overnight. It’ll lose a little charge, but you can just charge it while you’re using it.
