This week we saw the discovery of two new toggles in the "Main" build of SteamOS which confirms that VRR and the ability to disable v-sync is coming to Steam Deck!

There's also been a few new beta releases with some new features for those that use third party controllers and Pete is back from his honeymoon to report back on his experiences with Steam Deck as his primary gaming device for the week.

And… Steve bricked his Steam Deck 😬
