SteamVR Beta 2.17.4 adds in-game Steam features inside VR, including achievements, community guides and notes, in what Valve called an initial preview of broader integration.
The update also brings the Steam Deck-style Quick Access Menu to the VR dashboard, adding notifications, volume, brightness, battery status and shortcuts for tasks such as exiting or redocking.
Valve said users must opt into both the SteamVR Beta and Steam Client Beta to access the new features, with more updates planned during this beta cycle.
Beyond the interface changes, 2.17.4 fixes dropped Steam Link frames, corrects OpenXR event issues and improves Linux stability and error logging as Valve prepares for Steam Frame.
