My current little wish-list for Steam Deck upgrades

I think allowing third party launchers to integrate better with Steams UI would be a nice "third party app" feature , Heroic or UbiConnect instead of Chrome would be a lot nicer.

Or a firefox browser that can be more easily controlled with a controller.

Blizzard don't officially support Steam Deck / Linux but they still fix issues for it

I think having a native Linux version of Battle.net that uses Proton to start their games like Steam does it, would be fine.
Having their games eventually move to Vulkan and become easier to port to Linux would of course be even better.
I can imagine Hearthstone being a nice addition to a portable computer like the steamdeck :)

Heroic Games Launcher version 2.4.3 is another critical bug-fix release

Quoting: TermyI wouldn't be surprised if those changes are really intended to frustrate devs of alternate clients tbh...
Breaking their own cdn backend probably isn't done on purpose. The epic launcher had issues too :D

Steam Deck 2 is absolutely coming, new booklet from Valve confirms

Quoting: TheRiddickNext year away! This isn't traditional console. And RDNA3 4nm APU's will definitely be available to Valve sometime next year.
Is the difference on the CPU and GPU side big enough though?
Hardware development slows down over the years so the differences between two generations become smaller as well.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumMultiplayer on a sim card? Yikes it'd be lag city on the UK networks, where I am we have flaky 4G that often drops down to 3G or even 2G

The Deck could also be used to have a larger display for browsing the web on the go where at the moment people take a tablet with them.

I don't think we can defeat this pressure to be online for a singleplayer game so it would benefit compatibility if you could just plug in a sim card and be able to start more games.

More Open?
Maybe the Steam Launcher will become partially opensource so people can integrate other platforms and it still looks like it was done by valve by default?

For Deck2 it would be nice if we get a sim card slot and 5g compatibility. So you can truly play on the road without having to go through the hassle of creating a wifi hotspot with your cellphone.

GoGs social features are not supported yet ;)
I am not sure if this overlay stuff in EGL is complete as i don't know people on Epic.
