Today’s Steam Client Beta includes the option to add Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality to your Steam Controller. This feature will be required to enjoy the upcoming Steam Link app, but you may find it handy for other reasons, too. I’d like to describe what this BLE connection can and cannot do compared to the existing wireless solution, steps to update your controller to add BLE support, and how to switch between wireless modes once the update is installed.



You definitely want to use the BLE connection when

• Streaming games to your iOS and Android devices with the Steam Link app.
  
• Connecting your Steam Controller to a tablet or laptop without a USB port.
  
• You just can't find your Steam Controller Wireless Receiver.

Otherwise we suggesting sticking with the original protocol. It provides the fastest connection, with low-latency support for up to four controllers per receiver, and works across all major operating systems. The BLE connection is excellent, but the native wireless protocol was designed from the ground up to provide the best experience for a Steam Controller.

First opt into the latest Steam Client Beta. After that, connect your Steam Controller and this popup will appear:



Click 'Update firmware now' to begin the process. That should take care of it, but we also have these step-by-step instructions to help you out.

WARNING: This update clears all pairings, so you are required to reconnect the Wireless Receiver to your controller.

This update adds Bluetooth support; the original wireless mode is still available. If you have successfully paired to your Wireless Receiver and connected to your device over BLE, your Steam Controller is capable of switching between these modes.

Power up in original wireless mode with:



Power up in BLE mode with:



The controller will remember the last mode that was used, so you only need these button combinations when switching modes.

Thank you for testing out this new feature. More information on this firmware update is available here. As always, please share your feedback and let us know if you run into any trouble.

Greetings from the Steam Controller team. We’re pleased to announce that the latest Steam Client Beta adds support for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. We think it is a great device with a feature set that pairs nicely with your Steam catalog. The d-pad is ideal for fighting games and platformers and the gyro enhances aim in your action/FPS titles. If you’d like to test it out you will need to opt into the Steam Client Beta then follow the steps below. We hope you enjoy and, as always, we welcome your feedback.

How do I get started?
First, opt into the Steam Client Beta then enable support globally by checking the ‘Nintendo Switch Configuration Support’ option in the Controller Settings page. In case you missed it, this is the same page to enable PS4 and Xbox Configuration support. By checking this box, you are able to create, share, and browse Switch Pro Controller configs on a per-game basis. The Controller Settings page also contains a global option to ‘Use Nintendo Button Layout’. This will swap the A/B and X/Y buttons of your loaded config – something that will come in handy if you choose a Steam Controller, Xbox, or standard template config.



Next, connect your controller and register it to your account when prompted. For best results with the gyro, we suggest initially calibrating your controller by selecting the 'Calibrate' option under 'Detected Controllers'.



After that, create a config (or load an existing config), via the ‘Controller Configuration’ option in the Manage Game screen for the title you are playing. The full functionality of the Steam Input Configurator is at your disposal: bind the gyro, add radial menus, create action sets, etc. If you prefer to start from a community config, press X and browse the options.



Finally, launch and play your Steam game with your Switch Pro Controller. Bring up the overlay with the ‘Home’ button to tweak your config on the fly. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

The tech-noir world of Deus Ex returns to macOS with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Two years after the twists and turns of Human Revolution, return to the cyberpunk world of covert agent Adam Jensen. The increasing oppression of augmented humans has created a climate of fear, forcing him to operate in a world of escalating paranoia and suspicion.

Mankind Divided is polished with Apple’s Metal 2 graphics technology, delivering Deus Ex onto the OS in spectacularly polished form.

We're happy to announce that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming to macOS on December 12, and will be polished with Apple’s Metal 2 graphics technology.

Please be aware that despite the best efforts of Feral Interactive, developer of this version, they couldn’t get Deus Ex: Mankind Divided to run well enough on Intel and Nvidia graphics cards. Therefore, the initial release will support AMD graphics cards only.

To run Deus Ex: Mankind Divided you will need a 3GHz Intel Core i5 processor running macOS 10.13.1, 8GB RAM and a 2GB AMD Radeon M290 or better. The game is supported on all these Macs:

• All 15" MacBook Pros released since late 2016
  
• All 21.5" Retina 4K iMacs released since 2017
  
• All 27" Retina 5K iMacs released since late 2014
  
• All Mac Pros released since late 2013

The Macs listed below are also capable of running the game but do not consistently meet the high standards required for official support. This means they can run the game, but may not get the best out of it in terms of performance, graphics and stability:

• 15" Retina MacBook Pro released in mid 2015 with an AMD Radeon R9 M370X
