Updating from 0.2.0 keeps your settings: Deck mode only turns itself on for new installs. From 0.3.0 on, DroidDeck updates itself from the new **Updates** page.
Updating turns Deck mode on for everyone, once, and Steam moves to the Steam Deck client branch on its next start. If you'd rather not, turn **Steam Deck mode** off in Steam settings and it stays off. From 0.3.0 on, DroidDeck updates itself from the new **Updates** page.

## Highlights
### Steam, as on a Steam Deck
Deck mode is now on for new installs. Steam's performance overlay goes from level 1 to 4 in Quick Access and shows GPU and CPU load, clocks, temperatures, VRAM and battery, even on phones that lock those files away. The game keeps running behind the Quick Access Menu and the Steam menu, as above, and Quick Access shows battery life and time to full.

In Steam sessions the client reads your pad as a Steam Deck controller, with a real Quick Access button and your handheld's gyro. Games get Steam Input's virtual pads, so your Steam Input layouts reach them. On a dual-screen handheld, the second screen can be the Deck's back grips and trackpads.
