Important to note that major version changes of proton usually break a lot of games, so try the beta at your own risk.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Valve announced that Proton 9.0 is now available for testing, with lots of game compatibility improvements for Steam Deck and Desktop Linux thanks to it now being based on the recent Wine 9.0 release.

Valve said that the public beta will be "updated more regularly with regression fixes prior to the Proton 9.0-1 release".

Fixed TouHou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part I and II crashing during boss fights.

Fixed memory leaks that caused Final Fantasy XIV Online launcher crash over long time.

Fixed Lethal Company, Phasmophobia and other Unity games crashing when a controller with a hat switch is plugged in.

Improved video playback for the following titles: Lords of the Fallen, Harvestella, and Wayfinder, Sea of Thieves, KING OF FIGHTERS XV.
