Steam Deck OS 3.5 update improves Starfield performance and visuals

Steam Deck continues to improve, with the update offering new features. Now Valve has joined in fixing Starfield as well

Valve has introduced Steam Deck OS 3.5 with new features, and it is currently being tested. Various bug fixes were also included.

With Steam Deck OS 3.5, support for VRR (variable refresh rate) and HDR (high dynamic range) will arrive for compatible external displays.

Steam Deck’s color reproduction has been updated to emulate the sRGB color gamut — colors are warmer and more vibrant. The color temperature can be adjusted manually, with a Native option provided — it will look as it did before the 3.5 update.

Valve mentioned graphics driver updates with performance and functionality improvements. Starfield performance improvements were highlighted separately.

Steam Deck now wakes from sleep (standby) mode slightly faster.

A voltage offset setting has been added.
