Bugsnax received a new software update that adds preliminary support for the Steam Deck OLED and its handheld streaming peripheral, the Steam Frame. The update allows users to stream the game to the headset or download it for local play, removing the requirement for an active PC connection.
New patch enables streaming and local play on Valve headset
This release applies to the Nintendo Switch and PC editions of the title created by Studio MDHR. The update modifies how the software communicates with Valve's hardware platform to enable these new streaming pathways for the handheld ecosystem.
Key technical changes include preliminary compatibility layers that allow the game client to recognize Steam Frame as a valid output device. This enables both direct downloading onto the headset and remote streaming from a host PC running the standard desktop version of the title.
No new levels, characters, or fundamental changes to the game's systems are included in this release. The patch optimizes network connections to maintain smooth visuals and responsive controls during handheld gameplay sessions.
The update remains available at no cost to players who already own the game on supported platforms. Current documentation indicates no further device-specific enhancements are planned alongside this connectivity update.
