Summary
SteamVR Beta 2.17.4 now lets users open achievements, community guides and notes inside VR games through an expanded Steam dashboard.
The update also adds a Steam Deck-style Quick Access Menu with notifications, volume, brightness, battery status and a new slider for environmental and camera brightness.
Valve paired the interface changes with practical fixes, including a Steam Link frame-drop issue, an OpenXR event bug and Linux stability and error-logging improvements.
The changes benefit SteamVR broadly—including Meta Quest users—and add to signs Valve is polishing software ahead of the expected Steam Frame launch later this year.
