Making it easier to manage downloads and updates across systems from desktops to Steam Decks and other handhelds, Steam adds Remote Downloads Management.

Basically you can now manage the download screen of your deck from a PC client. I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but my understanding is that the deck needs to be on for this to work, but it will work if the deck is already in the “screen off downloading updates” state.

    Seems useful for their VR headset. Probably so you don’t have to hop into VR to trigger downloads.

    Hope they add an option to wake up periodically to check for updates- at least while plugged in

    More prep software for the steam machine. Valve widens the software gap between steam and anything else. Not only can you remote download to your console, but your pc too.
