Star Wars Galactic Racer just got a small improvement for those playing on Steam Deck and running Valve’s Linux-based operating system on any other device.
As spotted by SteamDeckHQ, the latest SteamOS beta update contains a note about Fuse Games’ debut title in a galaxy far, far away. Many people have been enjoying the game on Valve’s handheld PC because of consistent frame rates on the go.
However, it has not been entirely flawless. Performance would degrade if users continued playing the racing game after putting the device to sleep. The good news is Valve have patched their OS without Fuse Games having to release their own update. As this is a beta update, you have to opt-in but it will probably be pushed to everyone shortly. You can check out the patch notes for SteamOS 3.9.3 below:
