The Steam Deck finally has its own friends list icon.

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.

    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.
