A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded.
General
- Fixed recent apps section of systray menu being offset when game icons are hidden.

Overlay
- Significantly improved in-game overlay responsiveness and fixed cases where the UI could feel stuck or run at 1fps on Windows.

- Fixed “Join Chat” button not working on Steam Community Groups when viewed in the Steam Client.
Steam Input
- Update the Steam/Guide button configurations for non-Deck gamepads to match the behavior on Deck, ex: Steam+X button to open the on-screen keyboard instead of Steam + Select, etc.
- Allow external gamepad controllers to load the same guide button configuration they would normally load on Desktop.
- Improved Gyro To Mouse behavior when connected over bluetooth.
- Added the -nojoy command line option to prevent Steam from enumerating controllers for users with who are experiencing crashes.
- Added “Universal Face Button Glyphs” toggle in controller settings.
- Added exclusion of Gyro Activation Buttons from controller configs that don’t have those buttons.
- Fixed issue with stale bindings on Quick Settings menu when multiple controllers are plugged in.
Remote Play

- The Remote Play Together UI is always available in the Steam overlay for supported games.

- Added support for hardware video encoding on macOS 14 (Sonoma).
Big Picture Mode
- Fixed web browsers showing blank page entries when navigating back.
- Improve readability of the Steam/Guide button chord summary over games.
- Fixed an issue where non-Deck controllers could get the Steam/Guide button chord summary stuck showing until the next guide button press.
- Fixed some cases where the Guide Button/Steam button would require two presses to open the Steam menu.
macOS
- Fixed text not rendering in some dialogs and FPS counter in-game.
Linux

- Fixed a crash when opening the overlay in some games.
VR
