If you're confused on what Proton is, check out my beginner's guide.

Here's what's changed for Proton Experimental:

• Now playable: Forspoken, Samurai Maiden.
• Improve sleep/resume functionality on Steam Deck for Tiny Tina's Wonderland.

For Proton Hotfix, Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais said on Twitter:

A Proton Hotfix change has just been deployed to fix an issue where the Dead Space save screen thumbnail wouldn't appear properly. We're not aware of any remaining issues with the game but are continuing to monitor reports.

Changelog can be found here.

In a follow-up tweet asking for clarification Griffais said:

Most of those changes were improvements to our DX12 implementation to better support usage patterns we hadn't seen before.
