owners can now personalize their device's boot sequence with official startup videos for Civilization 7, Fallen Aces, and The Alters. This update lets players replace the default logo with game-specific clips before launching their titles. The change adds a layer of visual customization that was previously unavailable for these specific releases.

Valve monetizes boot customization with 3,000 point clips for new games

Valve released these new startup videos as part of the Point Store ecosystem. Users access the Customization tab in Steam Deck settings to apply the new clips to their device. The feature integrates directly into the handheld's user interface for easy management.

Each startup video costs 3,000 Steam Points to purchase. Users earn one Steam Point for every dollar spent on the Steam store. This pricing structure requires a total spend of $30 to unlock a single video.

The videos are available immediately for purchase in the Steam Point Store. We looked at the last Steam Deck update earlier while tracking similar customization themes. This release expands the library of official boot clips for popular titles.
