Latest stable Steam update brings full Steam Controller support

Valve just launched the latest stable update for Steam across all supported platforms, bringing full support for the new Steam Controller.

In a few days, the first lot of controllers should hopefully land in the hands of those lucky enough to get through the Steam checkout process crashing and then going out of stock. But more stock should hopefully be arriving sometime soon. You can also check out the initial GamingOnLinux overview of Valve's new controller.

For the main Steam client update the changes are:

General

• Steam Controller Support
• Added popup message when a controller connects or disconnects.
• Added setting to enable or disable controller battery notifications.
• Improved the Add A Controller user interface.
• Fixed locked achievement sorting listing rarer achievements before less rare.
• Fixed occasional cursor corruption while streaming on Windows

Big Picture Mode

• Reordered the items in the power button chord menu so it's harder to accidentally put your computer to sleep.
• Fixed the header networks status icon being larger than intended.

macOS

• Improved performance of Steam Overlay in games using Metal.

SteamVR

• Fix a case where it was impossible to reconnect a VR steamlink session after becoming disconnected without restarting SteamVR.

The Steam Deck / SteamOS update features the same changes.
