The great space RPG 'Star Traders: Frontiers' gets some Steam Deck upgrades

Star Traders: Frontiers is a popular space adventure RPG from Trese Brothers and a new update is out, with some improvements ready for Steam Deck players.

Announced on Steam, the developer mentioned a previous update that added tweaks for the Steam Deck screen, which they have now adjusted due to some unforeseen issue for regular players. Now instead there's a dedicated "small screen display" option you can turn on, which will adjust the whole UI to give a better fit and clarity. Might even help those with old eyes even on bigger screens too.

It really is nice to see so many developers add options for adjusting their interface. It's been a long time coming, with some games even on a big screen just being too small. I hope this continues for a long time.
