The brand new SteamOS 3.5 Preview is now available in the Steam Deck Preview channel! This MASSIVE update brings with it a wealth of changes and new features. A few of my favorite are (in no particular order) new color grading options including color vibrancy and color temperature settings, emulated sRGB color space for the Deck’s screen, HDR and VRR output to external monitors, new scaling modes in the Quick Access Menu, the inclusion of the long-awaited SMT fix, and –most importantly– automounting of external USB drives from inside Game Mode. This is a huge and exciting feature! I hope you enjoy this video and let me know what you think!
