Actually, the Steam Deck updates Proton along with your game updates. So, you don't need to do anything special, just keep your games up to date, and Proton will keep pace. Easy peasy.

Updating Proton on your Steam Deck is super easy! Just head over to the Steam Settings, click on the 'Steam Play' section, and you'll see an option to update Proton to the latest version. Make sure your Steam Deck is connected to the internet, and you're all good to go. Steam does a pretty solid job of keeping things up to date automatically, but it's always a good idea to check for the latest versions to ensure the best performance for your games!

I've found that sometimes Proton updates might not apply immediately or you might encounter a specific issue with a game. In these cases, trying out a different Proton version manually for that game can help. Right click on the game in your library, go to Properties -> Compatibility, and select the Proton version you want to use. Experimenting can sometimes yield better results!
