Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais mentioned on Twitter that the
company has introduced a "new Proton flavor," which is known as
Proton Next. This will be available "whenever there is a new major
stable update of Proton to test." With this new "flavor," Proton
7.0-5 is now available for testing.

The following titles are now playable with this release:

  * Rift
  * Unravel 2
  * Airborne Kingdom
  * Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull

  * Deathsmiles II
  * Primal Carnage: Extinction
  * Pico Park Classic Edition
  * Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind
  * Darkstar One
  * Indiana Jones and the Emperor Tomb
  * Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

Fixes are as follows:

  * Fix Batman: Arkham City GOTY launching in the background on Steam
    Deck when set to fullscreen.
  * Fix Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered displaying dialog about
    outdated drivers on AMD systems.
  * Fix Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake) having no audio.
  * Fix Return to Monkey Island not reacting to mouse clicks after a
    recent game update.

    exit.

    update.

    Dangerous.
  * Fix Planet Zoo randomly crashing.

    update (again).
  * Fix Tekken 7 crashing at launch.
  * Fix Armello hanging on exit.
  * Fix Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization freezing after the
    tutorial.
  * Fix Space Engineers intro video not playing correctly.
  * Fix Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen videos not playing correctly.

Other:

  * Implement network video support for VRChat.
  * Update dxvk to v1.10.3-28-ge3daa699.

Selecting Proton Next

More or less the same update back when it was a release candidate.
The only differences I'm seeing, as far as additions, are:

  * Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is playable with this release
  * Batman: Arkham City Steam Deck fix has been added to this release
  * several game-specific fixes have been added to this release

Things that have been removed include:

  * Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and ToGather:Island is not on the
    playable list
  * OpenXR compatibility with Blacktop Hoops is no longer available
  * network video support for The Good Life is no longer present

To use Proton Next, it's now available in the dropdown menu when
selecting what Proton version to use for a game, rather than having
to select the release-candidate beta.

See the patch notes on GitHub.
