There was a new Steam Deck Beta Client update that was released yesterday, and I love it. The update comes with a fix for games using Proton showing up as “not valid on current platform” if you have a large library, which is an issue I have encountered numerous times. There’s also a fix for the Switch Pro Controller, fixing intermittent errors in the downloads view, and there’s a new option to apply Gyro to Joystick Deflection range remapping on a Per-Axis or Circular basis.
You can download the update yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.
Steam Deck Beta Client 2/5/26 Update Changelog:
General
- Fixed a bug that could result in Proton games showing up as “Not valid on current platform” for users with very large libraries.
- Fixed intermittent error in downloads view when moving game entries between scheduled and queued sections.
Steam Input
- Fixed a bug in Gyro To Joystick Deflection mode where a setting of 0 for Minimum Gyro Deflection, and any non zero Minimum Joystick Output would still result in zero output without a significant amount of gyro deflection. This should help gyro users to dial in games’ internal joystick dead zone size more easily.
- Added option to apply Gyro to Joystick Deflection range remapping and acceleration settings on an Per-Axis or Circular basis.
- Fixed an issue with Switch Pro Controller Home LEDs turning on when disabled
- Fix a case where ABXY button options could be missing from configs
