Fresh bazzite install on Framework 16 fails to launch game-mode

bug
I have installed bazzite on my FW16 and chose to boot straight into game-mode. However the new install will only boot into desktop-mode. Even when I hit the "Return to Gaming Mode" Button it will just restart the Desktop-Mode.
steamos-session-select
steamos-session-select
says on the command line that it will configure the system to use the game mode and then just restarts the desktop mode. I think that script should also configure
/etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.conf
/etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.conf
, but that file always says:

$ cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.conf 
[Autologin]
Session=plasma-steamos-wayland-oneshot.desktop
$ cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.conf 
[Autologin]
Session=plasma-steamos-wayland-oneshot.desktop


Launching the big picture mode from desktop works fine. Any Ideas on what could be going on here?
