From the linked patch notes:

  • Reduced polling rate while the Steam Frame Limiter is active to save additional power. This can save up to 6% on battery life when running at 30fps in a low-power game like HL2

    I was happy for a split second thinking it was a new steam deck they’re releasing. :/

      This is even better, because they dont have to make a new one. Which would cause a mass exodus because every person that already have one will want to buy a new one.

        From a business standpoint, wouldn’t that be better for valve? Wouldn’t they make more money?
