If you have the latest Steam client beta, you may notice a new Steam Deck icon in your friends list indicating who is on the handheld.

That should make it easier to figure out which of your friends is on the Steam Deck or Big Picture mode, as Steam previously used the gamepad icon for both.

Valve really going against the grain and implementing actually great features instead of AI or some subscription shit.

I will say that I'm a little surprised it took this long, I was surprised when this "feature" didn't come out at launch lol

Is this really what's considered a "great feature?"

Why do I need everyone to know I'm playing on my Steam Deck? I mean it's not bad, but it seems more like a footnote than a feature.

So my friends won't invite me to play when I'm on the go. No idea if it works on desktop mode though.

This is the result of valve being a private company. If it was a public company it would of been bought my Microsoft and introducing 50 new AI features
