The Steam Deck got another update this week to test out some new features and settings planned for the device, but it might not be one that’s available to everyone. It’s party of the device’s beta tests housed within the Steam Deck Client Beta channel, though anyone who wants to try out the changes can enroll in the beta to do so. Some of the highlights include a new way to navigate these various Steam Deck software channels as well as a scheduled night mode that’ll automatically swap over to that setting at the same time every night.
