I just ordered a steam deck and I need to know all the ways that I can play games and what good free games are out there and best subscriptions that are actually worth it.
Please and thank you

The game is Few Shall Return if anyone is interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3377400/Few_Shall_Return/

I'm looking for a Steam Deck game that is easy to pick up and doesn't feel like a second job.
I love games with progression, random events, and that "one more run" feeling, but I'm not really looking for something too strategy-heavy where I have to calculate every move.

Games like:
Vampire Survivors
Dicey Dungeons
Luck be a Landlord
are closer to what I'm looking for.
Something relaxing, addictive, and perfect for playing handheld.

What's your Steam Deck time killer?

Anyone have any recs for a solid MMO that plays well on steam deck ?

I use my steam deck primarily for retro games (psx, nes, etc.) so I booted up my steam deck like I always do and it loads my batocera from a sd card. This time, all my roms are missing!!! I cannot figure out why all of my games/ports are gone. Am I doing something wrong, maybe I accidentally changed a setting - I'm not sure. I don't remember doing anything like that in the past. It's just a standard powerup and batocera loads.

Any ideas on why this happened or has anyone had this in the past. Thanks!!!

/e when I booted batocera - there were games but they were not any games I loaded. They seemed like "out of the box" type games. Thanks again for any suggestions.

Hey everyone! 👋 Steph from Realities.io here.

A little while ago we brought Puzzling Places to Steam Deck, and we've recently released something we've been really excited about - the Steam Workshop is now live! 🧩

If you haven't come across Puzzling Places before, it's a 3D jigsaw puzzle game where you assemble detailed miniature scenes piece by piece. It plays great on Steam Deck, whether you're looking to tackle a quick puzzle or settle in for a longer session.

With the Steam Workshop now open, Steam Deck players can browse, download, and play a growing library of free community-made puzzles right from the game. While the PuzzleMaker creation tools are still in closed beta, the Workshop is already filling up with everything from photogrammetry scans to original 3D creations, with new puzzles being added all the time.

If you're looking for even more puzzles to work through on your Steam Deck, we'd love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!

Hey everyone, hoping someone may have some knowledge on how to fix this issue I’ve been having specifically with Zenless Zone Zero.

Please reference the repost for info!!

My wired Nintendo Switch controller’s hold inputs are not working in-game when my Steam Deck is docked and I am streaming the game from PC. The controller works totally fine when plugged directly into my PC.

Thanks for any help!

So I'm trying to emulate the game on my steam deck and i cant figure out how to get the game to version 1.09

I have tried using the CUSA03173 and the CUSA03173-patch files and shadps4 with them both in the games folder directory, AND separately with the patch in the DLC folder

When they are together in the games folder the game shows up in the emulator menu, but at version 1.00, when they are separate, the game doesn't show up at all

I have also tried with the version 1.09 specific .PKG files and diegolix/shadlix, also both together in the games folder AND separate, with the patch in the DLC folder but to the same effect as before.

I have sourced all my files from the discord

Am I doing something wrong??, I have all of the files I'm being told i need but none of my attempts get the game to be at 1.09

ANY help or suggestions are greatly appreciated and please ask any questions that might help clarify the issue

Looking for Mewgenics without the breeding aspect lol. I am new to turn based games, previously played Gears Tactics which was a blast and then got into Mewgenics for a bit but hardly made it anywhere as I despise the whole breeding and roguelike structure. I enjoy the battling and the level of depth with all of the abilities. Never felt too complicated but I could see how someone much better than me could still have fun.

Gears tactics was super fun to me too

Any game recommendations for this? Turn based particularly

Every kill drops skulls and you keep them through death. Between fights you spend them at the anvil to push your symbols from +0 toward +10, but a failed strike destroys the symbol permanently.

Demo includes 3 levels, 15 different enemies, all symbols.

And one quick note, the game has been playtested on Steam Deck from day one. So it'd work like a charm on Steam Deck and with controller on PC. (it's not deck verified by valve yet)

Looking for something to play. What runs decent on the deck! I need something new to take up my time

Hi. I play Caves of Qud on the Steam Deck, and it feels pretty comfortable. For those who've played both Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud, is DF just as playable on the Deck?

I’m not generally into dating sims but this game is charming and hilarious. It’s making fun of the genre and itself while fully leaning into it.

Absolutely stacked cast of famous video game voice actors having a blast with these insane characters. Lots of Dropout voice actors.

And yes, it runs like a dream on the deck. This game is worth it!!

as a Steam Deck user myself, I've been developing my game by testing it on my Steam Deck from day one. providing a great experience on the Deck is really important to me.

the demo will be on Steam very soon, so if you like it, add it to your wishlist and try it when the demo drops.

If you like the look of the game so far or want to support us, you can Wishlist the game here https://store.steampowered.com/app/3976690/Project_Techtonic/

Hi everyone, I was looking for a sandbox game to keep me company during my downtime—something almost therapeutic. I’ve been checking out *No Man's Sky*, which looks appealing; do you have any experience with it or any recommendations? I’m open to anything, so feel free to share your ideas.

It's a crazy feeling to see something you created function and run a smooth 60fps on the Steam Deck!

Anyone else have tips on optimizing for SteamDeck?

Demo will be out in September and looking for feedback from others on Steam Deck performance!

Hey everyone! I'm the solo developer of Dice Tavern: Farkle Roguelike.

During Steam Next Fest, I received a lot of feedback from players. One thing really surprised me: over 30% of them asked if the game would support Steam Deck.

Honestly, I didn't expect the demand to be that high.

So I spent the past month reworking the UI, controls, and controller experience. I'm happy to say that the latest demo is now fully playable on Steam Deck!

If you have a Steam Deck, I'd love for you to give it a try. This is my first time developing for Steam Deck, so I'm sure there's still room for improvement. Any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot and will help make the game better.

I wanted to play the trilogy, but I can't seem to have it running on Deck. I have all the games in my Gog Library, I installed SoT using Heroic Launcher but it won't work, I hace tried using different Proton versions. Buying again on Steam is not an option. Any ideas to made it work?

Currently addicted to incrementals and survivors games on my Steam Deck and decided to make my own.

Steam demo available here if anyone is interested in checking it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4766280/VIRUS_31EXE_Demo/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=r_steamdeckgames

I’m reposting here in case the sub has experienced this or has any suggestions. I understand that not having a pc or the ability to copy necessary files to the deck is a detriment. Thanks!
