Along with fixes for other parts of Steam, the latest Beta brings more essential fixes for the Steam Controller with a firmware upgrade.

Once you've updated Steam and turned on a Steam Controller, it will pop up a notification about the needed update. This will bring you to the settings page to allow you to do the updates to the Puck and Steam Controller.

From the Steam Beta changelog:

General

  • Fixed a rare case where the Steam Controller welcome dialog could appear while updating the controller's firmware.

Remote Play

  • Fixed the client disconnecting after a short period of time when doing non-local streaming

In-Game Overlay

  • Fixed a case where Performance Monitor could over report frame rate if a game erroneously calls NVIDIA APIs to get new frame tokens at a much higher rate than their actual Present frame rate
  • Fixed cases where the overlay may not immediately cover the entire screen when first invoked
  • Fixed cases where the Big Picture mode overlay notifications may be positioned incorrectly until the overlay is first invoked

Steam Input:

  • Fixed several small styling regressions from the previous beta client

Steam Controller Firmware:

  • Fixed an issue where continuous rumble would sometimes break Gyro input
  • Another adjustment to trackpad touch settings

The Steam Deck client beta has the same changes.
