As part of today’s update, we are adding SteamOS Crash Report functionality. This feature is turned off by default – if you’d like to help us with collecting crash reports to continue improving SteamOS, please turn it on in Settings > System.

When this feature is enabled, if your Steam Deck crashes, it will send crash reports and system information to Valve (the next time it's connected to the internet). You will have granular control over what types of information will be sent in the settings for this feature (in Settings > System).

Thank you for helping us improve SteamOS.
