Valve Patents Huge Steam Deck Upgrade

According to a recent patent submitted by Valve, the Steam Deck could get a major upgrade with new technology that allows better streaming to the system and VR integration.

While the Steam Deck is an effective system that allows gamers to play PC games on the go and natively, it’s a balancing act between performance and battery life. One option that gamers can use to sidestep this issue is streaming from their desktop PC to the Steam Deck, though the biggest hurdle to this approach is latency, such as the Moonlight application. Valve appears to be working on an upgrade to the Steam Deck that can support low latency, according to a recent patent, along with high fidelity over wireless transmissions.

Valve submitted a patent for “dual detail encoding in a distributed system,” which provides both low latency and high fidelity images from a host computer to another device. It specifically mentions a wireless foveated transmission and rendering between a console and a head-mounted device or handheld system. This means that not only would the Steam Deck get an upgrade that improves its streaming potential from a PC, but also a VR option.

Half Life Alyx NoVR Mod Gets Better Steam Deck Support

https://www.destructoid.com/half-life-alyx-novr-mod-new-update-including-improved-steam-deck-support/

Half-Life Alyx launched to effectively universal acclaim in 2020. It’s only arguable fault being that it was locked behind the substantial asking price of owning a VR headset. Modders have alleviated this problem since, and NoVR mod, in particular, stands out as a highlight with its Summer update

But for those unconvinced, the new Summer 2024 update of Alyx NoVR is absolutely loaded with features, such as the improved support for Valve’s own Steam Deck handheld. That’s right: you can now play Half-Life Alyx perfectly well on the Steam Deck. How’s that for impressive?

Locked 60 FPS on the Steam Deck, with gyro aiming enabled to “give the game that VR feel” in combat

All Toner Puzzles are now playable and solvable

All Steam Achievements are now obtainable through regular “flat” gameplay

Improve locomotion thanks to map edits, viewmodel changes, and a few crucial boundary edits

The new (classic Half-Life style) low-accuracy crosshair

Improved third-party mod support.
