SteamOS 3.6 is Almost Here

General

Fixed a rare 3.6 issue that could cause filesystem corruption on Steam Deck 64GB.

Fixed a 3.6 regression where an already-inserted SD card would not always be detected on cold boot and would require re-insertion.

Fixed an issue where updates would could sometimes be applied incorrectly if the unit was powered off abruptly near the end of an OS update.

Fixed an issue with copy-pasting UTF-8 text across applications.

Display

Improved frame pacing with VRR on external displays.

Fixed an issue where internal display could be abnormally limited to a lower frame rate after disconnecting an external display with VRR enabled.

Fixed a 3.6 regression where the screen would be blank during part of the boot sequence.

Fixed a 3.6 regression where the frame limit would not apply properly in specific conditions.

Did we get a look at the Steam Deck 2’s chip? I doubt it.

Work is well underway on the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, which looks set to power the next generation of Asus ROG Ally handhelds and many others. It will compete with Intel’s Lunar Lake chips and is based on the Strix Point architecture.

The biggest upgrade of note in the Ryzen Z2 will be a larger iGPU, coming with 16 compute units, instead of the 12 in the previous Phoenix Point mobile processors. That’s a a 33% uplift that we would generally expect to result in a similar level of performance gaming improvement.

In terms of graphical architecture, the Ryzen Z2 will use RDNA 3.5, which improves upon the RDNA 3 in the Ryzen Z1 Extreme, though notably isn’t as much of a step up as the brand new RDNA 4architecture we’re expecting to power AMD’s next generation of desktop GPUs. Nonetheless, the newer chip architecture as a whole enables improved battery efficiency when gaming as well as better optimization with LPDDR5 memory.

According to Digital Trends, designers of the next ROG Ally handheld have suggested that demanding games like Black Myth: Wukong will run for well over an hour, something not possible on the Ally X, despite its 80Wh battery.

In the same report, it’s said that AMD is targeting early 2025 for a release. This is likely when we can expect to see the first AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme handheld, and while signs point to Asus as the leading candidate, its recent Ally X release might signal that it’s too soon for yet another handheld.

EmuDeck is Making a Desktop Steam Deck

Rodrigo Sedano is the founder of EmuDeck, a program beloved by the Steam Deck community. It automatically installs, configures, and enhances emulators for Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and other retro consoles so they work beautifully on Valve’s handheld.

Now, he wants to make it even easier. He’s preparing to sell you a console-shaped custom gaming PC preloaded with that entire Steam + EmuDeck experience, plus a wireless controller, all ready to go.

He’s calling them EmuDeck Machines, and he’s currently crowdfunding the idea on Indiegogo for prices starting at around $400 — with an incredibly ambitious promise to ship them in December of this year, just four months from now.

They’ll house (weak) Intel N97 or (stronger) AMD 8600G chips in a Sega Dreamcast-inspired shell, with four USB ports around front for additional wired controllers or peripherals. By overclocking the AMD 8600G’s integrated Radeon 760M graphics, he claims he can get what looks like Steam Deck-beating performance out of his pricier $700 model:
