About this tag
Steam Remote Play is a Valve feature that streams games from a host PC to other devices, including the Steam Deck OLED. Recent Steam Beta updates introduced HDR Remote Play for the Steam Deck OLED, preserving high-dynamic-range output when streaming compatible games from a host PC. The update also improves video color range across Remote Play clients, addressing issues like washed-out or crushed colors that can occur when the host PC, display mode, and streaming client disagree on color handling. These changes aim to enhance the visual quality of streamed gameplay, particularly for users with HDR-capable setups, and reflect ongoing refinements to the Remote Play experience on Windows and other platforms.
