  • Notification does not appear when external storage devices are disconnected.

  • We have not done a full QA pass on localization yet. If you notice any issue in your native language, please let us know!
  • Waking the device from sleep may induce a short period of low performance.
  • Selecting a genre under app details will not bring the user to the collection with that as an active filter
  • Some filters in the collection cannot be selected with the internal controls
    • This can be bypassed by using the touch screen.

Games

  • Touchscreen is not supported in all games.
  • Some games do not display artwork in their app card.
  • A few games you own may not appear in your library. Please report them so that we can fix them.
  • DirectX 12 games may fail to launch when using Intel graphics.

Provider-Specific

  • Attempting to link your Epic Games Store (EGS) account when launching an EGS title for the first time requires a touchscreen or mouse to complete the linking process.
  • Attempting to unlink a provider fails if the user is running a game associated with that provider.
  • On some devices, there is major lag when the virtual keyboard opens during account linking.

Hardware

  • NVIDIA
    • In general, more games will have issues on NVIDIA platforms than with Alpha 3.X due to issues related to the latest NVIDIA drivers.
    • On NVIDIA, using a mouse in-game causes severe lag. We recommend using a controller instead.
  • Valve Steam Deck LCD
    • The Valve Steam Deck LCD's default controls are represented as keyboard glyphs in the footer.
  • Other
    • Connecting an external display may temporarily distort the position of app cards on the Home screen.
