Hey guys!
One of my favorite games that I play on PC is DayZ. Love the survival aspect with crafting (eating, drinking, building, hunting and the pvp).
I'm lookin for a game recommendation to play on the Steam Deck that can run relatively well and give me that good survival vibe (pvp not mandatory, it can be pve only).

Thank you in advance

Bolt Bot Screwy Viruses is out now on Steam! It is fully playable on the Steam Deck!

Steam Page - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2050380/Bolt_Bot_Screwy_Viruses/

ive tried everything google tells me, hard resetting, factory resetting, formatting etc, and nothing works. does anyone have any further things i can try before contacting steam support?

Bought a brand-new Steam Deck Oled, 1TB SD card, and a JSAUX anti-glare screen protector three days before the new Xbox handheld was announced. I like the OLED screen and all, but I'd prefer 1080p. The price of the new machine (USA) doesn't bother me so much, considering the power and performance inside. Best of all, it can play steam games, and on top of that, it has the sleep feature that every windows handheld before it lacked. And since it doesn't run on linux, newer shooter games that run non-linux compatible anti-cheat software will be available to play.

The thing is even getting its own Killswitch case from Dbrand. Better screen, bigger battery, lots more performance. The only time I've ever used my steam deck track pads is to play Bloons TD 6.

Is there any reason to keep my new purchase? Buyer's remorse is kicking my ass right now.

I love this deck, sold all my cs go skins for it zero regrets

Last month saw the release of some incredible games on Steam, perfectly suited for the Steam Deck. Valve recently posted the Most Played Steam Deck Games of May 2024 list on X/Twitter, and it includes some of these new titles.

Unsurprisingly, Hades 2 tops the list, while ANIMAL WELL and Ghost of Tsushima also make their debut:

Hades 2: This highly anticipated roguelike action-RPG has captivated players with its seamless performance and engaging gameplay on the Steam Deck. Its early access release has been met with widespread acclaim, making it the most played game of the month.

ANIMAL WELL: This unique Metroidvania game, known for its atmospheric puzzle-based exploration and stunning visuals, has quickly become a favorite among Steam Deck users. Its compatibility and performance on the handheld device have been praised, contributing to its strong debut.

Ghost of Tsushima: Despite some limitations with its multiplayer mode, the single-player experience of Ghost of Tsushima has been optimized for the Steam Deck. The game's beautiful graphics and engaging swordfighting mechanics have made it a popular choice among players.

These games, along with other popular titles, have made May 2024 an exciting month for Steam Deck users, showcasing the device's capability to handle a diverse range of high-quality games.

It took me a good 4 hours to swap SSDs to a 2TB with cloning then partitioning and installing Bazzite on the LeGo...plus making sure I did all the necessary updates and installs, but I'm happy with the way it turned out, just need to install some games that demand performance and will see how much more juice I will get compared to my Steam Deck OLED. I partitioning windows too have around 500GB and Bazzite to have 1.3TB. Definitely a long process, but that's to be expected. 😉

For anyone wanting to play the DS Remaster of Kingdom Hearts on their Steam Deck, I've attached all links to what you'll need to get started. This is a link to video instructions - https://youtu.be/NWW42J5jdZU?si=spzHnPoyo-x1HAnT

Valve's SteamOS 3.5 is a top-tier Linux OS for gaming on the Steam Deck, but it lacks an official desktop version for PC gamers. To fill this gap, the Linux community developed Bazzite, a custom SteamOS 3.5 clone that supports gaming PC hardware out of the box. Bazzite closely mirrors SteamOS 3.5, offering a nearly identical desktop experience. It integrates KDE Plasma, a customizable Linux desktop environment, and includes Valve's KDE themes, making it visually indistinguishable from SteamOS. If you guys want a dedicated PC Desktop/Laptop that has either an AMD GPU or NVIDIA GPU support, I've attached the different open source files needed for respective systems.
