The Update All Steam Deck Owners Have Been Waiting For
It's no secret that finding games compatible with the Steam Deck has been a tedious task so far. But thanks to the latest beta client update, that has now changed. The process has been greatly simplified and is now practically a breeze.
Easy Search for Compatible Games
Instead of having to open each individual game in your library to check its compatibility status, you can now simply hover over it to see if it's playable on the Steam Deck or not. A small but significant improvement.
How to activate the new feature
In order to use this new feature, you first need to activate it in the settings. Simply navigate to the 'Library' submenu and select 'Show Steam Deck compatibility information in library'. That's it! Now you can easily see at a glance whether a game is compatible with your Steam Deck or not.
Even more improvements with the update
In addition to the improved search for compatible games, the beta update has also provided some other fixes and improvements for the Steam Deck. To find out exactly what these are and what they could mean for you, visit the Steam community page.
What does the compatibility status really mean?
While these enhancements are great for all Steam Deck owners, it's important to know that a game doesn't necessarily have to be 'playable' or 'verified' to work on your handheld. There are many great games out there that work perfectly with the Steam Deck – even without an official label.
Conclusion
This update makes the gaming experience on the Steam Deck even better. Searching for compatible games is now less time-consuming and easier than ever. So don't waste any more time with lengthy searches and instead enjoy more great games on your handheld!
