Steam Deck Update Adds A Lock Screen And Window Switching

gamespot.com:

The Steam Deck has received a new software update that adds a lock screen, windows switching, and improves the achievements section on Valve's handheld PC.

In a blog post, Valve revealed that the Steam Deck now has the option to add a lock screen along with a PIN, so you can keep other people from getting into your Steam Deck. The options allow for the lock screen to appear on wake, boot, login, or when switching to desktop mode, depending on your personal preference.

The update also improved the achievements page, which now loads faster and is easier to navigate. The page also now has the option to quickly compare achievements with friends or check out the global stats for a game and see how you stack up. Valve also added 21 new languages and layouts to the keyboards section of the Steam Deck, with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean keyboards coming in the future.

Steam Deck now supports window switching, which can be used to hop back and forth between different games or web pages. This can be used to switch between multiple games quickly or to go between a game and a web browser.
