Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

To be able to close or force close a crashed/frozen game as used to be. This behavior of not being able to close a crashed game was only happening on the GamepadUI now even on the normal Steam interface, when a game crashes it can't be closed. Even if I close Steam to get the prompt to close it. Only using killall (some games via their .exe works) and killall steam via terminal.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Open a game with Steam Beta
Wait for it to freeze
Try closing it via Steam

For that i'm on Pop!_OS.
It automatically detect frozen game window and offer to force quit or wait to respond.
And it's working absolutely perfect.

Same on arch with latest version. Cannot force quit games, my entire XFCE4 session crashes after a few minutes of the game being frozen.
