Can the Steam Deck only play Steam games?
Nah, the Steam Deck isn't just locked to Steam games! It's a fully functional handheld PC, so apart from playing your entire Steam library, you can also install other game stores like Epic Games Store, GOG, and even emulators. Think of it as a mini PC for your gaming needs, so if it runs on Linux (the Steam Deck's OS), you're likely good to go!

Not at all! It can run many non-Steam games and applications, thanks to its compatibility with various software and operating systems.
Just Steam games? Absolutely not! The Steam Deck is way more versatile. You can install Windows on it if you want and literally play anything your heart desires and your hardware supports.
Steam games only? Please, that's like saying a PC can only run Windows. The Steam Deck is a beast in portable format; play almost anything on it.
