Valve has release the latest client update for the Steam Deck and it brings a highly requested feature. Now, there's another additional mode for the performance overlay that allows you to just see the FPS without overloading your screen with other information.

In comparison, the previous lowest mode of the overlay had all this:

Thank goodness. Personally I'm one of those weirdos who has the FPS counter on constantly while gaming, I like to just have it there to know what's happening performance wise at a glance. It did bother me for a moment to see there was no FPS only option in the settings from the videos I saw. Glad to see Valve added this option. :D

Is the FPS counter always white text or does it have a high contrast colour option like what the steam overlay has?

Can someone explain the Garfield Kart hype to me? Is it pure sarcasm or is this actually a good game or what is it?

Quoting: lejimsterAccessing custom profiles from the steam overlay sounds like premium. On the other side, now that I see the default profiles quite often, I finally start to know where to look, so that would be a bummer for me, personally.Quoting: BladePupperIs the FPS counter always white text or does it have a high contrast colour option like what the steam overlay has?MangoHUD is extremely customizable.

When I saw the headline I thought they'd created a mode specially for playing First Person Shooters.

I think is/was a meme, but after playing a few tracks is say it's a decent game to get on sale. Not nearly as good a Mario Kart if you own a Switch, but it's got a good feel to it.
