I was interested in seeing how well the new Steam Deck interface would run on my Aya Neo 2021 Pro. A post over on Reddit pointed me in the right direction. In this video I am running a beta channel build of the Steam application that enables the handheld interface that will be introduced with the Steam Deck. This is running on Windows 11 using an AMD 4800u processor. Enjoy!
Here’s what user GB_2_ shared:
Windows:
Open the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\package\
Create a file simply named beta if it isn’t already there and replace all of its content with this text: steampal_stable_9a24a2bf68596b860cb6710d9ea307a76c29a04d
Then on a link to Steam (for example on your Desktop) right click, go to Properties and add this to the “Target:” text field: -gamepadui (make sure there’s a space before the -)
Linux:
Open the folder ~/.steam/steam/package
Create a file simply named beta if it isn’t already there and replace all of its content with this text: steampal_stable_9a24a2bf68596b860cb6710d9ea307a76c29a04d
Then run steam with the argument -gamepadui
