An update for the Steam Deck’s open source video driver will reduce the handheld PC’s shader cache files by more than half.
That’s according to PC Gamer, which stated this update will shrink the files by “approximately” 60 percent.
Just quickly for those who, like me, aren’t as technologically minded as others: Steam Decks come in set sizes in terms of the internal SSD memory. However, these aren’t particularly big – though memory can be expanded through microSD cards. So, with Valve now planning on reducing the size of its shader caches, this update will free up more space for games on the console.
